Lloyd perrett

Well he won't get that, he might get nothing, I imagine whoever was our insurer at the time will have to sort it out.

Insurance will not cover if there is any suggestion of negligence on the part of the coaching staff. There are several high profile "no win-no fee" lawyers out there who would take the gamble on this and represent Lloyd. Given what's happened at the club and given how hard NRL players are flogged in training and particularly pre-season, it's probably a good bet. Will definitely get the attention of the owners as it will definitely come out of their pocket.

Interesting expose on class actions last nite on Four Corners. Lawyers and 'class action investors' end up with around half of the judgment - many $millions - while the rest is shared between 1000s of class members.
Corrupt system (which will probably shock no-one)

Ultimately if there is no insurance coverage it will cost the owner because the club doesn't have the money from elsewhere to cover it. You've gotta take the good with the bad.

I bet the $5m comes out of our salary cap 🤭

This whole situation is going to be a massive issue for clubs moving forward in terms of the pre season training requirements. In some ways it is good and in some ways it is potentially bad.

From my perspective, it basically means 'The big boppers' will be relieved of some hard endurance training and will probably have to focus more on strength in the gym, rather than running massive kms. Given the 'Big Boppers' typically only play 40 minutes each game, with a 20 to 40 minute interval between each stint, I have no issue with it. They are impact players over short stints and the clubs have to adapt suitable training strategies to cope with that.

Or, just let them have a drink of water?

Considering the state of sport science even accounting for it being in 2017 (also on how to effectively build a team etc) I can not believe any professional team would use water as a leverage tool for professional athletes.

I see Dan Ferris is now a University Lecturer.

The facts are hardly compelling … lawyer would eat this up.

20mins of exercise in mid 20’s temp (not withstanding wet bulb - player comfort factors) is not anywhere near excessive. Mitigating circumstances for the club include, Perrett’s previous evening hydration routine, morning player prep factors on way to training ie pre session hydration for 2hrs plus prior, issues not disclosed with flu etc.. medication eg antidiuretic hormone for weight loss… which impact thermotegulation. Clubs weigh players prior to and after training and matches, know examples where a player was not permitted to leave the sheds until he hydrated to pre game weight…. Case looks flimsy.

Absolutely 100% clear, not having a drink at 20mins into a session is not life threatening. Had experience as a first grader, previous pre season training over x years (Dogs etc) sport science and nutrition advice etc… didn’t he have a pre season with broncos too ??? please - can’t find a job, so might be looking for cash.
