‘Tough love’: The brutal training session led by ‘mad man’ that saved Roosters’ season
A week after they were bullied by the Penrith pack, the Roosters responded in kind with a mauling of Manly’s middles that was set up by brutal “no holds barred” training sessions where players ripped into each other.
“That was one of the hardest weeks we’d had, almost pre-season vibes. We were just ripping into each other to flick that switch. I am just happy all that work paid off. Leniu credited veteran enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves for lifting standards at training, with the warrior prop keen to make a statement in his first game back from a three-game ban.
“We just took our medicine. It was a hard review watching all that stuff. We just took it on the chin and we had to step up after last week. We did that this week.”
