I've noticed that Brian McDermott seems to have introduced a bottled 'post match protein drink' for his players that they seem to take out on the pitch immediately after the hooter.

Anyone know what brand they are using?


I use one myself before and after a good gym session and was contemplating changing brands.


I know taking protein immediately before and after a physical workout can help develop muscle tissue, improve performance and be one of the factors in helping to aid recovery.



It's just that I want to avoid the one they use as clearly it doesn't work.

It's by a company called Smirnoff

That would explain a few things....

Inspired!

dont get me started on protein supplements. your average gym goer simply doesnt need them and they DO NOT increase lean muscle mass. proper training, adequate rest and correct nutrition do. only those who train an awful lot like professional athletes have any use for them, and even most of those could easily get all the essential amino acids from dietary sources with a little bit of thought.

It's a good way of getting the extra protein needed though vikingsmurf. You would have to eat a lot of tuna, chicken and baked beans to get the protein you can get out of a few whey protein shakes. I find they compliment my busy lifestyle perfectly. Don't know about you but I don't fancy eating tuna, baked beans or chicken when I get up for work in the morning. Couple of fat scoops of chocolate whey protein in with a good shot of porridge oats, skinny milk, honey and all blended up in an electric blender hits the spot for me at 7am.

So much so that they started serving it at the "Shepherds Bush Walkie", eh Ba...... I mean Phipps?

Never heard of the place eelpie.

Is that one of those infernal antipodean drinking dens in West London?


I try and give those places a wide berth.



Thanks for hijacking my thread by the way

It’s called Karma. You hijack other peoples threads with nonsense, so people in return give you a taste of your own medicine.

Maybe your team could do with some of this 'medicine' that you speak of in their post match protein drinks Coops. Might make them play a bit better next time round.

I don’t think I’d want to give them anything you take. If they did, we’d have the whole Rhinos squad on here day after day and night after night writing up nonsense in a vain attempt to irritate anyone who wants to read about rugby league on these forums.

Before long RLFANS would descend into chaos as your style of trolling becomes commonplace and overwhelming. People would log out quaking in frustration

Well if you had read the initial post properly Damo (I would find someone to read it to you personally) then you would have noticed I asked what the brand of protein drinks was that the Leeds players take immediately after the hooter so I could avoid buying the same one as they don't seem to work.

And clearly as you don't know then it might be better if you used your time more effectively by posting on another thread.

But thanks for your input anyway.

I shall keep posting on this thread and derail it as much as I want to. After all you seem to get away with it so much so why can’t I?

I can sense why you do this now. An overriding sensation of amusement is running through my mind as you attempt (and pathetically so) to get this thread back on track. Poor you eh?

Dandelion and Burdock

Thanks for the new signature material Damo

Does ANYONE actually like that stuff?

The Rhinos players apparently. Hopefully once you do actually find out what it is in their drinks, you’ll buy the same drink as well. By a miracle you’ll start acting like a Rhinos player and not come on here posting like you do
