Harry Plumber called into the wider training squad, has to be a good thing.
Let's hope it doesn't go to waste. One for the future pipeline.
I'm gonna flush that comment and move on

B. BarrettWould love to see that backline get a run at some point.
J. Barrett
Proctor
LoveI'm sure you would
Add Roigard to that backline and it’s even better. Having four Canes in the backline is the obvious ingredient to success. 😁
Not in the competition I saw this year..
To be fair we were top of the table when Cam was fit
Yeah we all know Cam’s injury cost a title this year. 😄
I wouldn't go that far. But his loss can't be understated
I wasn’t being totally serious but his form was very good and his injury probably hindered our chances by quite a fair bit.

Can't remember ABs having so much prospective depth at halfback.
Roigard, Ratima, Hotham, Viljoen, Pledger, Christie, Perenara
Unreal
Can see a running halfback being a real point of difference.Attack the inside channels using Savea, Ratima and DMac.

You lost Roigard, but we played Christie.

Who the hell is Pledger?
And I’ve heard Viljoen’s name mentioned a few times.
He’s not a realistic chance after 3 or 4 appearances from the bench in super rugby. I’m not saying he won’t get there, but I’d like to see some evidence before we put him in any AB 9 depth chart.

Yeah the post is pretty much ( insert every super rugby player in any given position ) and ‘wow, look at the depth we have’

I thought bouncing a bench press off one's chest and arching the back were no nos?

I think what BC says is not that far out. He said prospective depth, not depth. I think a few have a bit to go etc, but I do think Pledger looks to have makings of a good one. Like any prospect it's how they continue to develop.
Shit I reckon at 10 Rico Simpson is a hell of a prospect too. -

It’s becoming more and more common , the theory is it reduces the range of motion allowing you to push more for strength gains .
I don’t flat bench anymore because my shoulders are rooted so I’ve never really tried it to have an opinion on it either way

@kiwiinmelb I also think there is a big difference between what they are doing vs powerlifting and strict lifts.
There will likely be variances that are likely more specific to the requirements of rugby (explosiveness being a big part that a power lifter isnt looking for)

Weighted dips are the way to go. More functional in my opinion ( and yes way easier on the shoulders particularly for those of us over 40 )
Although they do help you bench too.
