I'm pretty sure he was cleared of any wrong doing at Manly. He was here and left before the Steve Danks period. Not sure of his involvement with Essendon though apparently he introduced Danks to the club. I'd be surprised if he was involvement in any wrongdoing though. He's a fitness guy who worked at the Australian Institute of sport. Not a sports scientist.
I spoke to him during the off season we picked up Ox just a few weeks before the comp started. They were talking about moving Monaghan to hooker. He told me he put 10kg of lean muscle on Monnas so he'd be more suited to the defensive role. To bulk 10kg is easy but to add 10kg of lean muscle in just over 3 months is phenomenal. When i heard he was assosciated with Danks i immediately remembered that conversation. lol
On a side note, does anyone know if Dean and Trent Robinson are related to Tim and Chad Robinson?
