Someone with better knowledge … Russell is regarded as one of the best in the business so are we running further and harder then most teams or are all teams about the same … what does he do that is elite because from my couch it looks pretty average

Great question. Other point would be, did we get the training loads wrong, aiming to get through the r2 bye? It's been a nightmare since.

The sports science and conditioning world is full of conjecture about what constitutes “best practice”.
It’s hard to defend method if the outcomes are poor.

 

[SurreyBlue]

All 3 CANNOT be on our list next year.

I thought the new training loads where to be individualized to help such players.

 

[Red_man2008]

Cerra 9 weeks out 6 quarters in 4 weeks more out.
Cuningham 6 weeks out 4 quarters later another 6 weeks out
Martin 8 weeks out 4 quarters in another 6+ weeks out

So much for holding them back.

14 injuries plus 1 more mystery for Thursday nights team. This is surely gotta start impacting on the players’ ability to hit contests as we may be having to forfeit games after the bye. Might need to bring back the covid replacement players.

 

[JJBagger]

Im not holding my breath, but if we don’t lose any players to injury against the swans (im touching wood, don’t worry) or midweek, we could have as little as 7 on the injury list by next weekend. Interesting

Mystery injury this week?

Some men, you just can’t reach …

There’s something seriously wrong with this. Once or twice is a coincidence. Every player that’s coming back is going straight back into the rehab group.

Don’t forget Motlop - started as a toe injury and somehow ended up with consecutive hamstring injuries.

Didn't we get a high tech machine that allows analysis of a players running style so their style could be altered to reduce risk. Could have sworn that I read this a few years ago.

 

[GT619]

Players, Russell, Cook, Sayers, Voss?

martin, cunners, marchy, probably russell

Not true, Weitering, Walsh haven't missed a beat

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Training in sumo suits in a ball pit this week.

 

[Blue Reaper]

Now Martin. FMD. This is just deflating.

The club needs an independent and in-depth review into the entire spectrum of player management.

I’m keen to see how we respond on the field this week, players and coaches.

There was an external practice at PP that had a DEXA scan for awhile, not sure if they're still around though

Valid.

So 2 out of how many…

 

[Aphrodite]

So now we have one more ‘mystery’ for Thursday nights team

 

[BlueBlood15]

Step up Brad Lloyd. S&C reports to you. List management reports to you. Either remove the injury prone players or Russell or both. Enough is enough.

 

[Arr0w]

Valid.

Cerra, Martin, Cuners, Marchbank

Do the last 3 surprise anyone? 75%

Where was that stated?

 

[Doro]

No one has mentioned the real issue here. The bad juju..

This guy comes highly recommended..

Post #2529

Probably guessing on the Pitto test

 

[Captain Judd]

We seriously need to sack Andrew Russell before he ruins Walsh career with back injuries.
