can't see the Flanno/Cobbo dynamic being a success

Can’t see Flanno lasting.

Selwyn Cobbo floated for immediate switch to Sydney NRL club as Broncos sign replacement​

Cobbo is too similar to Latrell, unless his head is in the game(rarely) he is a liability.

Wait till they see Mason names at FB, you’ll see one of the biggest fluctuations ever.
Imagine him trying to tackle Turbo in full flight? Which hasn’t happened in two seasons, but you know he’s turning up with wings on this week.
For some reason I like seeing Seibold fail. I’m not sure why?

I can't stand his voice for starters.

Cobbos attitude is at least one rung higher than Lattrell even if his ability is probably lesser.

He's got to be on a playing time restriction while still getting over any niggles/injuries, but then again, Benji seems to make a lot of decisions that many of us believe cost us games.

This restricted minutes sounds like a lot of BS to me.
When you get the ball you run at full pace if there's a gap, right? Or make a try saving tackle.
That can be after 5 min. or 70 min. Does that mean Benji says just run at 1/2 pace for 30min. then we rest you. I just don't understand the restricted minutes claim? Someone please explain how it works?

How easily can we get out of the Royce Hunt contract?

Yesterdays numbers from KOE are alarming.

21 minutes
1 run for 7m
60% tackle efficiency

Not exactly screaming for reinclusion.

Awful. I had great hopes Royce keeps that early season form.... Theres the injury though, ribs take a long time. Wonder if the Dogs would entertain a trade for Sulika Fifita.... Boosts our forwards in a big way.

😩

That's our much better side of defense.

Under more fatigue, created by the length of time muscles are used, there is a greater risk of straining/tearing them.

They are limiting Latu’s minutes to prevent his muscles (hamstring) fatiguing to the point where it makes it/them susceptible to re-tearing.

yea true

Yeah look what happened to Bula in the last second of the game last week under fatigue trying to accelerate quickly.

Its about overall load on an injury. Muscle fatigue increases the risk of the injury reoccurring. I went through a similar protocol back when I was playing 20 years ago and sports science has progressed significantly since then. You need to build back up under match conditions, hard to replicate that in training.

Nafahu Whyte resigned with the roosters

No resigning news for us :/

I love the backwards concept of putting our injury prone star half on playing restrictions then building up his minutes at lock.... You could not have a more diametrically opposing strategy if you tried ..... Oh we need to keep him out of half duties in the helta skelta opening 20 minutes..... But hang on let's build his minutes playing at lock probably one of the most physically tough places to defend on the football field.....

Sadly it has nothing to do with protecting Latu or restricting his minutes.....

It's all about Benji's Sheenius moment to change how the game is played with 3 halves... Hence the play for Reynolds and the not really ruling out Sexton garbage .....

By playing him at lock ? Piece of piss defending there ...

 

[Buttface]

I think its shannon gallant though maybe he replaced Callaway who got the arse
Betsy boop?

Gallant is pathways of some kind, so you’d reckon he’d have input.
You got the sarcasm in my post though?

 

[Buttface]

It’s sounds like he’s swallowed a bucket of gravel and been punched in the throat.

 

[Oldman]

Joey is the king of the #7 jersey.
We should be bringing him in to do 1:1 coaching with Latu.

What do he

It’s all about his hamstrings,
Defending in the middle means less sideway movements basically forward and back only in a line,
Defending as a half is wider out and the sweeping attack play from the opposing fullbacks means for more quicker movements on your legs which in turn puts pressure on those hamstrings.
Surely people can see that they are trying to reduce the possibility of another hamstring injury occurring which will be beneficial to both the team and the supporters.
