I'm really hoping JR can bring out the best in him.. A few mates that follow the Sharks state he is a real workhorse - but has handling errors. Anyone heard any different?

It's a shuttle run up and back from 50 m; then back to try line and back again done a dozen times and players are timed. It's meant to be done at good pace.
Our old coach used to get us to do it over the entire field; run 10m, then back to try line then the 20m, and so on all the way to the the end of field and back again. From memory that was abt 1200 m and we had to do it a few times. Killed us.
The Bronco Test is a running fitness test used in rugby league and rugby union to assess aerobic capacity. It's a shuttle run test that involves running back and forth between markers at 20, 40, and 60 meters, completing five sets as quickly as possible:
Place markers at 0 meters, 20 meters, 40 meters, and 60 meters
Run from 0 meters to 60 meters, then back to 0 meters
Run from 0 meters to 40 meters, then back to 0 meters
Run from 0 meters to 20 meters, then back to 0 meters
Repeat five times
The Bronco Test is a common test used by elite teams in both rugby codes. It's easy to set up and time, and can be completed by large groups of players in different positions. However, the data is highly context-specific and the test is only a general aerobic-based test.
Could Ryley push for a bench spot this season? Or is it a bit too early as he has only played a few cup games - appears to the makings of a great dummy half, major strength is his running game something we haven't had for a long time
""clutch"player LOL clutching at straws again I see..
You ploppa have on 1 gear only and that's dumb! You think DB is elite and can destroy opposition teams on his own?? Just like Thurston, John's, sterlo, Cliff Lyons, Terry Lamb the list goes on…"

I can't see how you can have 2 halves taking $2,000,000 plus per season and have a balanced roster. The Storm are the only team that have that sort of money in their halves, but they seem to get there low to middle earners playing way above their…"
"I was impressed by everyone, first game. Can see some real pressure going to be put on under performing players. Like the look of big Kautoga, sloppy at times but needs polish, that will come"

Plus Riley smith may have done a record run... it's showing you the type of player that JR is after

Not sure - just read on another forum.

Used to be called Suicides, but probably can't use that word in this modern world.

Ryley Smith fittest overall. Williams the fittest forward.

He is pretty quick. Maybe if we have a top 30 spot left and cant find the right recruit they might bump him up.
Its been confirmed he smashed the time record for the Bronco run.
