I was just reading about shallow water blackouts and there was a facebook page claiming Ivan Cleary was using training techniques that put players at risk of this occurring.

MEDIA WATCH - NRL Training
It's disappointing to see that #NRL coach #IvanCleary has put his #PenrithPanthers team under extreme risk of drowning with their latest pool training schedule.
These #extreme #underwater activities and drills are putting your football players at such a high risk of drowning from #shallowwaterblackout.
This occurs without warning, within seconds, and CPR is not often effective, so please STOP using this training. There is NO proven or factual evidence worldwide that shows this does anything for endurance or stamina. There is however, many deaths!
Please get educated, refer to images attached, refer to our websites, #media are welcome to further discuss with us, why they need to stop this practice.

Wow. Voldemort is a piece of rubbish, and I wish many bad things upon him, but I hope one of those scummy Penrith players don't get injured or die from this. I hope they lose at football games sure, but I don't want that. Wonder if Ivan does train his team like that?

No idea, I guess around the date of that post there must have been a news story about them doing underwater training.
