Training Training Thread

[IdiotBox]

His nose is actually his biggest resemblance to dean cox. I'd say his build and playing style is more in the Mark Jamar style. He's bollocking and not a leaper, but can palm it well to good spots.

There's that word again!

 

[Gralin]

Did anyone make it down to training today?

 

[Oooh Cyril]

He is travelling well. Looks to have tidied up his composure/disposal during match play drills which was his weakness. I guess we'll have to wait and see if it translates to game day.

cant believe the number of people who doubt Langford......He had an interrupted year last year but if fit is an automatic selection

yes, just needs to tidy up his disposal a little, but otherwise, has all the assets to make it

 

[Gralin]

Footy is littered with could have been careers.
I think Langford can make it, I hope he can but I don't know he can.
Either way the man is a premiership Hawk and that lasts for life

Completely agree with this.

People forget how huge he was in 14'. There were games when langford lit the fire. His attack on the footy in some games when the chips were down was utterly inspiring.

He's become the forgotten man, almost becomes a virtual recruit for 16'. Expecting big things.

Random question, reading up on Anthony Milford coming back from the Christmas break over weight and performing poorly in the yearly Broncos beep test. It mentioned Andrew McCullough holding the record at the club of 22, this smashes Billy's combine record (well aware of mid twenties professional athlete vs kid out of high school). Does our club have a record to compare?

FYI Sam Thaiday posted a 18.5 this year, bloke has worked his arse off to become fitter. Sick of playing prop if reports are true, and wants to play his preferred position of 2RF.

I think the nrl must have adopted the beep test standards from the local kindergarten.

Can only comment on what I read.


So does our club have a record of beep tests?

 

[Ordovician]

A leaner version of a person will never be as strong as his bulkier self. The force that a smaller version of a person will produce will always be less than the bulkier version, with the same amount of acceleration placed in the movement. Therefore, the strength of the leaner version will also be less than the bulkier version.

I am sorry but that is simply incorrect.

The acceleration of a mass is a result of net force vectors acting on the mass. The acceleration of a mass does not cause a force to exist. It is strictly the other way around i.e. force vectors cause change in velocity vectors.

My thoughts exactly

I'm confused as to what you two don't understand. A professional rugby league team has a yearly beep test and the current record is 22, if reports from the club are to be believed. As we are considered the endurance game of Australia is there a record that our club keeps in regard to beep test results though our the pre season?

Or is it the fact there are players like Anothony Milford, Andrew McCullough and Sam Thaiday are considered elite athletes in this country?

My love of NRL Supercoach puts me in a position that I know a lot more about rugby league that your average punter, this surprises the hell out of most that I deal with who know me as as AFL supporter. It is a very simple game based on a players work ethic and the minutes they are allowed on the pitch.

The best way I have found to deal with rugby league supporters is to show respect to their game and in turn a majority of them will do the same.

It is the belief of most AFL supporters that their game is the centre of the universe that pisses most NRL supports off the most.

 

[StalkingHawk]

Leagues fine, and they do a lot of shuttles, but no way are they pumping out 22's. Thaiday could not do 15. Look into beep tests. Wide variation in tests used, and application. Probably a bit of a different test

He's a determined little blighter. He'll be fine

Yep - a real "will to win" type. Finds that extra notch at the right time. Man 2014 rocked

So does our club have a record of beep tests?

Only at draft combine, held by Hartung at 16.6, Hill was 16.1. This is at 18yo without full time club development so full time AFL players would get higher you'd think, but no rugby players would get close

 

[Baz_hawk]

Beep tests can vary but 22 is a bit ridiculous. Marathon runners, triathletes and iron man competitors usually average 17-18, 19 at the very best of the standardised version. Either the NRL are fudging numbers or they have their own version. I suspect the latter as the usual au test has 21 levels and level 20 consists of 16 shuttles, each shuttle allowing 4 seconds to cover the 20m distance. Level 20 means you have already completed 4.3km.

Issy is a better runner than those two, whether he would have set the record at 18 I don't know. Hill and Hartung couldn't touch him their first preseason in the time trial though

Don't call their ground a "pitch" if you want respect from an NRL supporter

Correct. There are differnet variants of beep tests or shuttle runs viz. this you tube video of Notre Dame Lacrosse players one of whom gets up to stage 28!



This must be fairly similar to the beep tests conducted on the NRL ruby players.

I seriously doubt those figures. The league boys' game is based on short bursts where most runs are about 10 metres, and power is far more important than endurance.
Sam Thaiday carries a gut as big as Stewie Dew in his prime (2008). There's no way he could even do a beep test, let alone get those results.

Anyway, all the best Queenslanders play for Melbourne Storm!

 

[Spanish Sahara]

No ****ing way Sam Thaiday runs an 18 beep test

No disrespect but I couldnt care less if a NRL fan does or doesnt like AFL.
