NEWS Bennett's Bird blast: 'Jack won't be going home'

Number6 said:
Have to agree. Ridiculous for pro athletes on hundreds of thousands a year to be eating anything but a tailored diet. Maybe let loose after a win with pizza or whatever but 95% of meals in season should be controlled.

No more Maccas cards for new recruits and ask all current players to put them in the drawer for the on season. Bird can just have it cut up if has a problem.

Get all the young single blokes cooking classes and nutrition teaching with personal meal plans. Get culturally relevant and tasty fresh stuff. And for ones that don’t want to cook at training every day they get all meals provided takeaway. Most commercial premade stuff wouldn’t do. Need way more calories, protein and healthy fats I imagine. No sugars except just before training and games. Hire an in house specialist healthy food chef for the ‘leagues club’. How is this not being done?

Why?

Doesn't really seem necessary. What food is culturally relevant?

I guess it would depend on the player. None of our players are from USA so I guess McDonald's can **** right off.

I remember on that broncos insider show they interviewed their new nutritionist who prepares all their pre and post workout smoothies and meals. Obviously someone needs to be fired or the players are just taking the piss outside of their controlled environment at training. I feel this current broncos squad just runs rings around bennett and his current grand dad nature. They really need a hard arse no nonsense trainer to whip them into shape.

Yeah it's not difficult, put them on a strict diet and do tests like skin folds and weigh ins weekly with dexa scans at the start of the season. If they want to eat worse than your average gym rat then they can do the cardio necessary.
 
Most of them would do this. There is a reason these guys have got to this level. They are disciplined. Only a minority struggle with a good diet etc.

It doesn’t seem that way. A lot of guys dream to be more round than shaped... it’s not just Bird. And a $20 daily Maccas card is completely inconsistent with tight dietary management.

Lots of stories in NRL of guys giving up the junk food as part of going to another level or drinking too much.

Do I even dare ask why only the young single blokes?

I am sure Sam can give them all cooking lessons, he loves cooking after all.

Yeah don’t need anyone else feeding in sam’s paddock...

I meant get them with the nutrition message when they are 18, impressionable and bottom of the food chain so as to speak before they have to worry about kids and partners getting in the way.
 
My mind must be going blank or something, I just can't put a name to the first face.
