Interesting Wayne Gretsky (aka possibly the best Hockey player ever) apparently had a super low heart rate while skating.
He was smaller then his team mates and had to do more work/perform harder in theory.
Yet his heart rate was very low.
Another odd story told by Gilmeister. Alfie Langer kept badgering him about making a wager on a dog at the trots. Gilmeister said "no focus on the game ahead". Broncos were at a key moment and Alfie was about to execute a play, he turns to Gilmeister looking at the board "see, that dog did win"... He wasn't even that focused on the game, but scored a try.
A friend knew an islander who was doing MMA, his opponents were hyped to the max. This guy was chilling eating a mars bar before the fight.
TLDR: pressure is far more complex then we understand it at the moment. Poeple like Aaron Woods performed best when tasks were kept simple and he was just having fun. Start to complicate, and his performance tanks. Flip it you have your Galvins, your DCE's, your Storm that train the crap out of themselves.

I have that low heart rate....theyve asked me once or twice when in hospital if i did triathlons or such...i just laughed and said 'i wish'
With woods to play halfback next year it means Galvin will go to 6 as I am pretty sure his manager would have made sure about that with a contract clause.
Looks like Butron is on the outer and will have to settle for centre of lock I don't think Burton will be too happy about that hence the rumours he wants out.
A mate of mine who has a bit of inside info on the dogs has told me a lot of the players do not like him but have to put on a show for Ciro and Uncle Gus.
If it's true and Burton ends up leaving who is also very popular with the playing group, I feel the dogs will be in the media all season next year particularly if their season goes south.
Just glad he's gone, and not our problem anymore.

Ivan knows his stuff.
So the Dogs have signed Sean O'Sullivan from the Dolphins. Apparently he’s being brought in to help train Galvin and Mitchell Woods. Isn’t the reason Galvin left the Tigers was because he couldn’t develop under Benji and yet the Dogs had to recruit someone for the job.
It’s almost like that was just an excuse to get Galvin out of the Tigers but Moses has too much integrity for something like that 🤔

I’ve listened to Terrell’s podcasts, and there’s definitely an intelligent and thoughtful individual there. While it’s likely he wasn’t in an environment that encouraged a focus on education, I wouldn’t call him dumb—just untrained.

The extreme positivity they use when responding to questions about Galvin is very transparent, they come across as artificial and trained responses.
Listen to some of Benji's comments on the Terrell podcast, if you read between the lines when he comments about Galvin and then later on team harmony.

Mine is 42 and I can vary it up or down with a thought process.
Can get it up to 60 if I do a forced march.

I rupture my patella tendon about 7 weeks ago dislocated the knee cap torn the quad in two places i have spent most of my time at home but was talking with a family member of the dogs coach today and he was saying nothing if I was able to take him to the pub I would have some gossip
But with Burton I heard that ages ago not long after Galvin went to the dogs at the time Parramatta wanted a 5/8 and Burton was not happy and Parramatta wanted him

When Lachie Galvin wanted out of Wests Tigers – the first time – one of the first phone calls his manager made was to the Penrith Panthers.
It was the end of 2023, and five-eighth Jarome Luai had just announced he would be leaving the premiers to take up a lucrative five-year deal at the Tigers for the start of the 2025 season.
Galvin was yet to debut for the Tigers, but he had concerns about the club’s recruitment strategy, with three playmakers – Aidan Sezer, Jayden Sullivan and Latu Fainu – on the books already and now Luai due to arrive as their marquee halfback the following year.
It was reported at the time that Tigers CEO Shane Richardson met with Galvin’s family on the eve of the 2024 season to assure them the teenager was a big part of their future plans.
What is not common knowledge is that Galvin harboured hopes of joining the Panthers to fill the void left by Luai, and one day playing alongside Nathan Cleary.
Sources with knowledge of the situation not authorised to speak publicly confirmed Galvin’s manager had reached out to the Panthers to gauge their interest in the young playmaker.

At the time, good judges at Penrith believed Galvin would become a better No.13 than he would a half, and they already had Isaah Yeo, their co-captain, locked away on a long-term deal.
Plus, they already had their eyes on one of Galvin’s best friends, Blaize Talagi, who was in the Eels system.
Like Galvin, Talagi was yet to make his NRL debut at that stage. Panthers CEO Matt Cameron was particularly keen on the Westfields Sports High graduate, and arranged a meeting between he and and Ivan Cleary at the coach’s home on the Nepean River.
Galvin went on to play 31 NRL games for the Tigers before his much-hyped mid-year move to Canterbury, whose title dreams were ended by Talagi and Penrith on Sunday.
Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould defended the signing of Galvin on Monday’s 100% Footy, and described the criticism levelled at him and the club during the second half of the season as “childish and extremely unfair”.
As it stands, Penrith fans would be more than happy their club opted for Talagi over Galvin.
“The feedback I’d got from people who had coached Blaize previously was how he was an outstanding human being, and I was always going to back the Panthers’ system to turn a good player into a special player,” Cameron said. “We all expected Blaize to contribute in his first year, so he’s definitely met those expectations.”
Talagi was keen to remain at his junior club, and even after meeting Cleary, was ready to recommit to the Eels, only to keep thinking about Cleary’s sales pitch to make him a better player.

“I was set on staying at Parra, I didn’t want to move, I was probably scared to move I guess, but after meeting Ivan, he opened my eyes to what else was out there,” Talagi said on Tuesday.
“Just seeing how he was as a person, so cool and calm ... it took me a few days to think about it. I remember saying to myself, ‘OK, I’m staying’. But almost immediately I felt like it wasn’t the right decision, so I changed my mind.”

Lachie Galvin wanted to join Penrith. The premiers wanted his mate
Blaize Talagi is proving an outstanding replacement for Jarome Luai at the Panthers – but if Lachie Galvin had got his way, he’d be lining up alongside Nathan Cleary this week.
