    Podcasts for Rugby Coaching

    G&G, Long time no see. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good rugby COACHING podcasts. Obviously there's plenty of great rugby podcast content (the G&G one included) with pretty decent analysis but I'm looking for something more specific with a higher lever on analysis. I feel like...

    If that intern is a 35 year old recent ex-professional hooker then yes.

    Melbourne Rising 2014

    Tom Blake is the best athlete, Tuimalealiifano is probably the most natural and likely to make it for mine, and Sione is probably a little small but I'd love him to prove me wrong because he seems (from an outsiders perspective) to have a good head on his shoulders.

    Qld Country - official NRC thread

    Sounds like a missed opportunity, usually I'd mate excuses but considering there's no rugby this weekend there's no excuse not to sent 4 or 5 boys to smile for photos.

    Rising v Rays, 24 August @ AAMI park

    Great game from a spectator's perspective but we needed to hold a team with the league's weakest roster to less points than that. Jack D was really good ball in hand but I felt really conservative when kicking for touch, his huge boot often landed the ball in touch by 30m but barely...

    Brisbane City vs. Sydney Stars - NRC Round 1, 21/08 @ Ballymore

    Good point, Neville and Arnold were late bloomers too. The thing they all have in common? They're fucking tall. You can't train or condition that height. In junior or semi-pro a coach will always pick a 6'2 lock who's a better player, but in professionalism you need someone who's 6'5 or more...

    Canberra Vikings - Offical NRC Team Thread

    Having a big number8 receiving a kick with a 20m run up is not a new tactic. Didn't see the game so maybe the execution was poor but the tactic is sound.

    Really? Interesting. He's young enough to make a comeback eventually, fingers crossed.

    There was some anonymous sugar daddy who requested it I'm told.

    I'm not saying you're wrong but doesn't Holmes exclusively play loosehead? I remember him starting most games.

    Brisbane City vs. Sydney Stars - NRC Round 1, 21/08 @ Ballymore

    By that logic I could say the same of you and your original comment. I find your original reaction to an obvious joke (a lighthearted one at that) says more about you than a throwaway joke at the expense of a rugby powerhouse says about me. A powerhouse than, like I said, I've had zero...

    Reds 2015

    With Alexander there already and Palmer probably coming back at some point in the future? He plays 3 for the Reds does he not? I mean it's tinkering, but not TOO much.

    The sad thing is $130 is cheap now, they're often $160 or $180.

    Brisbane City vs. Sydney Stars - NRC Round 1, 21/08 @ Ballymore

    Reread the post, it's a piece of lighthearted silliness made particularly obvious by my word choice. Stop being a knob. Professionalism V the Amateur era is chalk and cheese. A more relevant example would be when Robbie Deans picked two tourists for the Spring Tour out of the Shute Shield, but...

    You're not wrong but that content comes from the media department, not the rugby department. Disconnects are commonplace. For example, look at the positions players are listed as on their profiles. Often you'll be surprised.

    Haha, I read an article on it yesterday.

    Reds 2015

    Paraka looked damn good, and Slipper can play 3. With Slipper already a TH of note and with Sio already playing 1, there'd be worse things to do Wallaby-wise. Sure, I get the whole 'TH is more draining on the legs' discussion but Sio is dynamic too. Point being, change Slipper to TH is Paraka...

    Canberra Vikings - Offical NRC Team Thread

    Arguing past a point only breeds a siege mentality, which galvanises one's point of view by making it a competition to be right and not a discussion of opinion.

    Seeing as Qld is Qld (so it has scouts eyes on it from elsewhere and all the teams are in house), yes. However, I know for a fact there are guys in other NRC sides that were running around in park footy in the pacific islands 12 months ago.
