So is Madge admitting his training methods of the past are wrong ??? Again??? as he said he had learnt from his time at the Bunnies after he had signed with us ???
The players have said they’re still training at very high intensity, it’s not really ‘relaxed training’ despite what the headline says, sounds like they’re just trying to have a little more time off and make better use of their breaks when they can
Less meetings ......Madge and his Uncle Brian Smith are known to have more meetings than the AJC
Again you could see the players looked mentally and physically drained the week before the Warriors games ..but the coach took 2 more weeks to notice it ...one injury cost us the one player who may have got us to the semis ......
All the other big teams can handle the training. Boys just didn’t show up on the field, every single week they all talk about how good training is but it’s not showing up on the field, it’s more mental than anything, hence ‘less meetings’.
No not all the coaches ..they manage the loads better ...The Storm and Roosters lessen the load and then ramp it up again with about 6-8 weeks left ...funnily enough most rugby league clubs train players like Olympic swimmers .....hard off season lighten off before trials ramp up big before the Olympics and then back off again just before Olympics
Plenty of players have said it’s no tougher than any other club they’ve been at. It’s no excuse, the players went out there and didn’t have a dig that’s on them.
It is different ....must clubs now are ramping up their training loads ...madge is lightening up the load now
Tell me I was wrong ...we looked cooked v the Warriors
We’ve had games like that for the last 10 years, rock up against teams we should beat and don’t look like we’re even trying. No matter what coach we’ve had that’s happened.
Again, training isn’t any less intense, they’re training just as much at a high intensity, just trying to make better use of their off time and if there’s a longer turnaround between games have one session that’s a little relaxed. No major different to actual training
So Aloiai , Grant ,Lucy , didn't have their worst games of the season v teh Warriors because they were gone
The whole team had one of those games, I’ve seen it a million times before, don’t do anything all game and try win it with 5 minutes left and score points then. . Those three were still our best players but it was a vintage tigers performance
It came because they had come off games against Penrith and Parra and they were mentally /physically shot
Grant should of been rested ...and seeing madge couldn't see that our season is cooked
Grant still played better than his ? replacement, whoever it would've been.
And busted himself up ......was it worth it with the run we had coming up
You can get injured in any game of footy... you don’t rest players against weaker teams because you’ve got harder games coming up, that’s the opposite type of mentality we’re trying to build
Yet Melbourne rested players v the Dogs ...Munster said if had of been a semi Smith would have played ...Roosters have rested Flanagan and Cordner ...Koraisai (despite somone saying he'd be out for 6 weeks ) rested ....the best sides do it ....
Flanagan was dropped, Cordner has big head issues.
