Dominic Young’s cheek-to-cheek training technique to help Rooster hit top speed

[QWERTY]

Does Fabri actually coach any runners or does he only coach NRL players?

[Rooster_6]

Not sure why people bag Dom for - only been playing league since 16 - in 7 years since played 86 games for 81 tries - EPL/NRL/Tests. - Only 23

Dom would be a revelation at fullback with his pace and size. I would be training him in this position- Be in the top 3 fastest players in the NRL.

Turbo - 194 cm and 102 kgs
Dom - 200 cm and 107 kgs

The criticisms labelled at Dom are fair and reasonable based on his performances last year, whilst context is important it also doesn't change the facts.

The suggestion he could play fullback because he shares similar physical characteristics to Tommy T is the worst take I've seen in this thread.

Coach Robinson had a different view of Dom Young and his view is what counts in the end . - posters knock a whole raft of Roosters players in any case and some repeatedly cop the weekly wrath. - Doesn't mean they are right - Only their opinion

You never know as Anthony Minichiello made a successful transition from Wing to Fullback under Ricky Stuart - A lot doubted that move considering Minichiello as a winger only. Ryan Cross started his NRL career as a Fullback.

Thirteen likes tall players in certain positions so why not Tall Dom at Fullback

Robinson has a different view to you on whether Dom Young could be a fullback... Doesn't stop you from sharing it.

That's the beauty of a forum, share opinions. Argue the point rather than the poster/posters.

I reckon Tall Dom would be dynamite at Fullback chiming into the backline and lurking at the back and also backing up a line break - I also think if he's on the wing he could play a similar role to what Nathan Blacklock did at the Dragons back in the day.

No use having the fastest player in the team waiting for the ball to be passed to them and that speed being wasted - use that speed give him a roving role if playing on the wing.

Can someone teach Dom how to catch, read defensive play and fight in the tackle too. He just needs to look to the other wing to see how it’s done.

If we can win a comp with SKD then we can do it again with Dom.

Dom doesn't have the necessary ball skills to play FB. I wonder if Marky Mark gets a shot at FB if Teddy goes down.

Only problem is that he is not reliable under a high ball. He would most likely struggle to pick up grubbers too. Remember Paul Hauff. Still good enough to play for Qld and Australia though.

That’s what I’m thinking too.

Skill set I think he's a good shout but he's huge and not sure how he'd handle the endurance requirements of the role. I think he'll find his home in the NRL at centre.

Does Fabri actually coach any runners or does he only coach NRL players?

I watched Fabri work with Carney back in 2010. They were training at Centennial Park. Carney was flying!

Fabri looked very comfortable working with an NRL superstar.

Marky played a bit of fullback as well as wing for the Waratahs. There are some big differences in the role between the two codes, but also some similarities. While I think his skill set would translate and he could be very good in attack, he would definitely be challenged for aerobic fitness at fullback unless he is training for it through the preseason.

I always think of the below Carpenters song when people call NRL players superstars - Strange that Mrs Salvo would have heard such songs in the Soviet Union as any and all things would need to be approved by the relevant Government agency to be able to be seen and heard by the general population.

Carpenters - Superstar

Skippy the Bush Kangaroo was one show approved to be shown and a favourite with kids in the Soviet Union - Mrs Salvo said all kids would rush home from School to see it - I assume it was propaganda based as Skippy was pretty good - Flying Helicopters , Driving Speed Boats . Catching Crooks and being able to communicate with Humans - i.e the Animals were smarter than humans in the West.
