Dwain Chambers RL Debut

[bost135]

i thought i heard "theres no room for super spade"!!!!

[godkingRoss]

I think you have to have played rugby in your youth to be a truly exceptional player.

Shoving him in at the top level was an insult to professional RL players.

[hordichuck]

@godkingRoss thats a bit silly isnt it. this isnt top flight rugby league, and if he is capable then why not. you dont have to have 'put in time' in the minor leagues

[TheBen2005]

press 1 and he says niggers lol

[sicknick091]

he's playing with kids!

[wrich1162]

what position was he playing in?

[OzisGodscountry]

Does the commentator at 0.04 say "reserve team for niggers"????

[101balla4lyf]

@OzisGodscountry fuck me i think he does

[MrJ1MmY94]

@OzisGodscountry no he says reserve team friendly against the york city nights :)

[Morrell84]

Dwain Chambers + Rugby 7's = monster

[living0in0arms]

he runs to upright with the ball so he is gonna get crunched in the stomach or ribs everytime he gets tackled

[titusbrambleisahero]

Give him time he could have gotten good. He's got speed as we all know, but he's also strong as an ox, so he just needed more training. He would be a BEAST in sevens though surely

[SEECH7]

hes gonna b sore nooooooooooooooooo

hes probably the strongest player there

[FaTmaN9009]

sidestep man!!

[nathancroucher90]

He didn't do as badly as I expected him to do actually but there is more to it than just speed as you can see.

[StereoUk]

If he developed a step..he would be sick in Rugby Union,  but he's a sprinter end of

[jpwpara]

damn! you dont just run full speed into someone's shoulders.

[athey73]

shoulda signed dwain, hes no worse than the bucket of shit youve got now. and to the fuckin inbred child-molesting bastard who thought he was proper hard by shouting at me from the safety of his car as he left wigan tonight with his tail between his legs. well done on another medicre season, and tell your mam she give me crabs..the dirty bitch.

[tigerfenton]

Another cock from Wigan, typical.

[athey73]

think of that all by yourself?

[PowerSprinter]

yeah, but he HAS HIS OWN SPORT

everybody thinks track athletes are just free agents for other sports. THEY ARENT

[athey73]

yeah. hes a real credit to his sport. if thats what he likes then he should stick to it. maybe he thought rugby was just running fast with a ball in your hands. funny thing is, they dope test in rugby too. sorry dwain..

[PowerSprinter]

yeah, i actually dont like dwain chambers at all. im glad hes old. i just love track and field, hence my username

[weallloveaj]

could've chose a better team than scummy cas! there crappppp

[pitbull73]

Every top sprinter I believe is on some kind of drug: It`s only a matter of time before they take Bolt and the rest of the Jamaican team. It`s like DDR: You can`t get as many in the top from a country with a small little population, wiyhout using drugs.

[thePrince972]

sad, but I think you right

[decaDBZ]

You can, it's Jamaica, they're genetically superior. Just look at Bolt, 6ft5" tall and built like that, no wonder he is as fast as he is.

[gnb9]

haha. no jamaicans have a much bigger desire to train hard unlike other countries,  also in that country they have great athletic genetics.

[normoy]

wouldnt f minded seeing him get a contract, i bet sprinters would be good, fast and well built

[rob12192]

they would be good for ten minutes, but after that their lack of endurance would mean they'd get killed out there. A sprinter would be good to bring on for the last 10 minutes of a game when your one try down and you need someone potentially devastating to get you back in the game

[PowerSprinter]

haha you are so dumb

sprinters are in wayyy better shape than rugby playres

sprinters have the best toloarance for lactic acid, which is required in up tempo sports

[rob12192]

I'm dumb? 1) 100m sprinters only run for 10 seconds a race so they use the phosphocreatine system to re-make ATP for energy release not the lactic acid system so the chances that they train specifically for lactic acid tolerance is low. 2) rugby league involves constant running for 40 minutes meaning players use aerobic glycolysis & the krebs-cycle reactions to re-make ATP for energy, not the lactic acid system, so having a higher lactic acid tolerance is of little or no benefit. Who's dumb now?

[PowerSprinter]

yes you are stupid

1. sprinters train from running intervals of 500s, 300s, and 200s, with low rest. obviously the performing isnt as hard, its the training

2. rugby players start and stop

yes you are dumb. i know everything you said, all you did was try to make yourself sound smart.

if rugby was all out running for 40 minutes, then i would agree, but its not at all

[rob12192]

they start and stop but not for long enough to outlast the oxygen debt which is necessary to return to use of the lactic acid energy system. And the training you say does not fulfill the principle of specificity (in principles of training) and therefore will not affect a sprinters time as it is not really related to the event, so if this is how you're training i suggest you re-think how you train

[rob12192]

@PowerSprinter

the lactic acid system can only work for 2 minutes at a time then it needs to recieve a period of almost complete inactivity for about 1 minute. There is NOT a 1 minute break every 2 minutes in rugby. After that you have to use the aerobic system, and seeing as sprinters do not train this they would struggle

[PowerSprinter]

ok, i disagree with that, but listen

even if you were right about the lactic acid system, here is a typical sprinters practice

warm up, including 800m jog, plyometrics

300m, 100m, 100m, 100m sprints. only 1 minute in between for rest

then rest for 5 minutes an do it over again

thats definatel aerobic training son.

[rob12192]

@PowerSprinter

no it's not. during high intensity exercise the body needs to remake ATP fast. The aerobic system is a complex, time consuming series of reactions and cannot remake ATP fast enough to cope with sprinting. The 1 minute rest you mentioned is long enough to provide partial recovery of the phospho-creatine and Lactic Acid systems and by doing the exercise you mentioned you are training those systems. The principle of overload is aplied through allowing only a partial recovery

[PowerSprinter]

yeah, well then overload applies to rugby games as they dont get full recovery either.

either way, rugby players sprint around the field and take temporary breaks.

sprinters do the same in practice just more extensive and way more intense

and rugby players have to weigh alot

btw, im american and everything i'm saying about rugby players is based off of american football players, is this a bad assumption? are rugby players more like soccer players?

[dvckong]

@PowerSprinter right well, its not as much of a stop and start game as american football, maybe 10-20 second stops at the most, cardio is extremely important esspecially when it comes to the backs

[gullysquid]

@PowerSprinter No their not like soccer players. Look at some rugby training and there really strong. Compared to football. Its like a a bunch of full backs, running backs and wide receivers. Look at some All Black trainings

[ruger1342]

haha thats it. at swim practice i have 1000m warm up then 800m 700m 600m 500m 400m 200m 100m and back up again. this is the first exersize out of four, before we start the cool down set.

[tcsonline]

haha he's heaps uncoordinated, fukin funny. He runs with the ball a bit like a swan. Got a lot to learn

[LiveAthletics]

"Got a lot to learn"

YOU'RE telling HIM he's got a lot to learn? I think that 99.9% of the world's population could learn a lot from a man who runs a 6.42 60m sprint and a 9.97 100m sprint...

[tcsonline]

im refering to rugby league, quite obviously !

[alex21077]

What he does now, with ho help from any sponsers at all, is quite remarkable. UK Athletics should let him run again.

[adamreed123]

6.42 60m dwain is the best no question!

[sdotlondonkid]

He was actually quite good

[AlexRide1]

He got smashed by a winger...

[sdotlondonkid]

Im a winger, im the fastest, one of strongest and best tackler. It no worse being takled by a winger than it is by a second row.

[StealthyX]

Getting tackled by a good winger is in my view as a player (and a winger/fullback) the worse position to get tackled by.. Because of the pace at which we tackle at.. Would you rather get hit by a AM DB9 going at 60mph, or a Ford Focus CMAX at 30mph? I know which one i'd chose!

[zuturd]

from the looks of him he could of fit in quite well at cas with all the other in-bred no-hopers

[tyboi13]

ive forgiven dwain think he learned his lesson can tell his sorry nd his got motivation his doin well ryt now nd wif press puttin him down nd stuff sponsers not helpin him out his still workin hard mahn people need 2 let it go giv him a chance he will make it under 6.50 4 60m nd under 10 seconds all the times soon im bhind him

[rich187113]

He only got to 10:01 without steroids. With them I think I remeber him getting a 9:81.

[bossofalltime]

9.97 in 1999 without drugs, 9.87 with them with much more wind behind him. That 9.87 was not the best race he had that year though, with a better race he probably was capable of the 9.81 you speak of.

[tcsonline]

how do you know 1999 was without drugs? just cause it wasnt proven doesnt mean shit at that speed

[bossofalltime]

True.

[seanowain]

he should keep running theres plenty of other championships he can still run in and make his mark, hel be up against the same athletes.

[athleticscoach2012]

He's hardly doing charitable work - that might redeem himself!

[mijjymij]

god give him a break hes had such a bad start all hes tryin to do is redeem hiself

[athleticscoach2012]

9.9 legs, 10.9 hands

[MattyBurns1992]

"Soft druggie bastard! Your just a soft druggy bastard"

You all know the song people =]

[tosgem]

not much good is he... a pity, with his speed he could have been a real weapon.

[lordlevo]

he made about 3 meteres on his big run

[pat44444444444444444]

My gran is better at rugby. What a dick.

[bigpaulothe1st]

SUPERB comment PAT . I cant stop laughing .

[bigpaulothe1st]

BEST comment in the HISTORY of UTUBE .pat44444444444444444 .

[SirAtkins]

Wakefield had a similar project involving a fast man named Waine Pryce.

[karlhby]

nar waine pryce legend at cas he was only shit at wakey because he broke his leg 1 month before the end of the season

[bigstuff83]

He seems to be natural sort of athlete whos probably good at all sorts of sports but times against him for rugby league as hes 30 now and dont think any team out there has time to make a decent player out of him.

[03fussellc]

shit house

[joe1999manutd]

hes apparantly in talks with another full time club. i hope its salford!

[andypeet1]

hes shit hes not a rugby player

[WallisLad]

They've just released him

[StealthyX]

if he can work on his footwork (as in sidestep, swerve etc) and his stamina, he'll be fantastic.. no matter how good his stamina gets, im sure his speed will still stay, he'll always b faster than all the rest... Go Dwain!

[cheverise]

Good luck to him. Rugby league has it's fair share of lads who have served bans for drug misuse. Ryan Hudson, Richie barnett, Jamie Bloem. i don't see them getting vilified week in week out like Chambers, He's served his time, period.

[nath4united]

cant say he aint got no balls

[nath4united]

lol cant say he aint go no balls

[neilbrown100]

Fair play to him, served his ban then got more backlash! whats the point of a fixed term ban if your not given a clean sheet after it! Good luck to him, if he can get a break who's gonna catch him?

[smawson]

drug cheat

[bradwolfe12345678]

give credit to anyone to put a superleague shirt on yet alone someone who aint even played it before

[mknightfilms]

fair play to him, he took some tackles. if he bonds with the team he'll be a decent player

[jonnybarry1989]

I hope he does well at this, Castleford, St Helens, Gt Britain???? then he can come and have a go at some rugby union, Lesley Vainikolo esq!

[jimthemod2007]

He's a loner ! This is maybe what he needs to feel part of a team!look how happy he was final whistle.

[kkpb7731]

Yeah. Why do you think he was so happy at the FINAL WHISTLE!

[FreeKickPro]

reserves or 1st team?

[Diddididi]

reserves

[JimmyCase1977]

good luck to him

[BreakableThreadJLR]

good on him. lets see how long he lasts.

[neabjoe]

thats my boy!

[stevegate]

yea boom time joey
