Sea Eagles shaping up well

[Bearfax]

At last Peters has done what we have wanted for ages. A run down on how things are developing. It may be glossed up, but at least its some sense of how certain players are travelling. I give you a plus for that article Peters...about bl...dy time. Keep it up mate, only lets hear more of individual players.

Having DCE as the fastest over 2 kms is a test of speed and endurance. I wouldnt expect a winger to win because they are sprinters, not stayers. Their value is quick bursts of speed over 10-100 metres. The fact that DCE won it is encouraging and shows he is committed. I wonder how he would have gone against a fully fit Tom T....but then again Tom is also a sprinter so DCE would still have won.

Good to hear Blake Green is fitting in nicely and that the forwards are putting in. Didnt know about Jake's and Walkers ops, which again shows how negligent the club has been in keeping supporters up to date until now.

A lot not spoken of. How is Kelly going, how is Tom Wright going, Bainbridge, Jamil Hoppa, Omar. But at least its a start Peters. But, we want some more.

Dont forget ,Its still the OFF season !!

Agree its a good insight and Parker's injury is disappointing. Interesting DCE won the time trial too.

Having said that, its what Zorba didn't say about his observations which were conspicuous by their absence. Conspicuous for me anyway....surely he observed Stewart and Matai missing!

2km is definitely not endurance!

It is when your best speed is over 100m.

I would lay the odds of any genuine sprinter beating a half back over 1 and a quarter miles at about 20/1. In fact I would probably back most athletic forwards to also beat the sprinters.

You're right. The energy system used in a 10-20 second effort is different to that of a minute + effort.
You would expect Jonno Wright and DCE to be behind Walker, Kelly, Tom T in a 100 m sprint.

Correct, there are however natural middle distance runners with enough pace to play in the backs, I suspect Jonno Wright to be one, but there would be very few genuine sprinters that would post a competitive time over 2000m.

DCE is no slouch over 100m either. Guy is super fit. You often see him leading the chase if an opposition break had been made with Daley trying to make a last ditch tackle.

Perhaps not. But this isnt a case of DCE being able to run the distance and others couldnt. Its an issue of DCE outrunning over 2 kms the rest of the team. That means running flat out over that distance which takes more than pure speed. It takes staying power. Not as if he jogged the distance. Its why Bolt doesnt run in the 2 km event

 

[Shoe1]

Half backs need to be still going strong in the 79th minute, and be fast. It's great that Dce doesn't run out of puff

The important thing to remember is......

Muscle weighs more than fat!

 

[nightster]

my muscles have all turned to fat

You would be lighter then right?
