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

    • Names please mate

       

  • What is the Bronco forward test?

    • Not sure - just read on another forum.

  • 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. 

    • Ryley Smith fittest overall. Williams the fittest forward.

      • 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 

        • 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.
