Sad news: You had to be violent: The vicious training alter…….
First, the Roosters were bashed by Penrith. Then they bashed each other, before turning on Manly and saving their season.
And after making his own remarkable return from a fractured scapula suffered just three weeks ago, Victor Radley has pinpointed “violence” as the key element of the Roosters’ single win in their last 10 games against preliminary final opponents Melbourne.
Due to his recuperation, Radley was unable to participate much in the “brutal” and “no-holds-barred” contact sessions at Roosters HQ, but he was fully informed on the rules set out by seasoned enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. The Roosters humiliated Manly on Saturday night following their defeat at the hands of Penrith’s pack in the first week of the finals. This came about as a result of stepping up their training while most clubs were tapering down their play-off strategy.
