  1. What a score!!! Nathan Cleary wow.
    I love the players trusting former players to do these videos. I hate journalists who write crap about you then try suck up to you to get an interview. Thank you guys!!!

  2. The great interviews are the ones where it’s a genuine conversation. And all high level footy IQ In that room

  3. I agree with Nathan about the Juniors. The block plays in the Juniors is pointless. Coaches just gotta teach the kids how to do simple stuff like identifying short sides, draw and pass, two on ones etc.

  4. good stuff lads love the content. I was thinking lately due to all the talk about lack of half's and lack of development in the junior's, I had an idea that maybe could add value to you and all our young up and coming juniors as well as junior rugby league coaches. What do Yous think about a program run by retired former elite players particularly spine players like yourselves creating and potentially selling or possibly NRL funded videos or packages of some kind made for local junior coaches/players detailing all the skill-based training drills, routines and experienced tips you have learnt throughout your careers to help improve the junior rugby league coaching and provide a sharper and more well-rounded junior development system. I think there is many ways you could go with this and coming from someone who attends junior rugby league training/games i see potential for improvement to help provide the basics of individual positional training as a lot of drills ran at an under 15 training session for example at small local clubs are more so providing development for a team as a whole (catch, pass, tackle) but no specific drills for individual positions which in my opinion is slowing down development for the individuals playing an important spine position until/if they reach junior reps or progress further into NRL development systems. sorry for long comment boys would love to know your thoughts i always thought there is potential in an idea like that to really help our game grow.
