2025 Pre-season discussion. The Madge dynasty begins.

It''s crazy how much press the Broncos get to other clubs.

Certainly compared to clubs who aren't owned by newspapers.

I actually think we can go all the way this year.

Feeling more confident by the day

It makes you wonder about the safety of intense physical training in the sort of heat and humidity in Brissy ATM at 1:30 pm.
Seems pretty stupid TBH.
I'm all for a tough pre-season, but surely player welfare is an issue in these conditions in the middle of the day.

Recovery is just as big a part of the physical training they do in pre season, because it’s the adaptations to that training which get players to the point where they’re physically ready to play..

So they’re not just about throwing the kitchen sink at everyone and digging a recovery hole that can’t be filled.

Hot start: Madge talks Haas, Hunt and hard work | NRL.com

Madge says in that interview if its a hot day they will train in the morning .

IMO there is no point in dehydrating and expelling too much electrolytes . Just to prove how hard the regime will be . The recovery time req is not worth it . Lose too much fluid and even these elite athletes will suffer weaker from performance in the following days . Unless they use IV`s like the Lions used to do back in the day .

I like how Madge legally has to pretend that Haas is just there to cart water bottles

One thing that I love about Madge is his voice isn’t irritating as **** to listen to like Seibold, o brien, Demetriou, Jason ryles etc

A very good communicator in these press conferences .
Praises when he can . Doesn`t talk about sensitive stuff eg contracts . Doesn`t get flustered when Dobbo asks a gotcha question .
