Have you been to any training sessions over the last few years? Adams is definitely one of the more conservative types on the track. The farthest thing from an overtrainer

I trust Taylor to put his hand up if he has any doubts. He plays at 100 % intensity and I'm sure he knows he will be a liability if not 100 % right to go.
Based on how Adams was running today he looks on track for the GF if we make it.

I love the positive qualities he brings but I'm not sure he's the kind of guy to put his hand up if he has doubts.
Sounds like there’s quite a back-story to that post!

Watching Alan Richardson train on the Thursday in 1990 was very tense. And we thought he looked like he made it through. Lethal had other ideas.

Sounds like I'd be his ideal player.

Do we want a 50/50 Adams on GF day? Re-injuring himself will hurt bench rotations
I think he rules himself out later in the week
Presti set that gold selfless standard at the club 13 years ago

Mitchell was massive, I think he can do it again solo but if Adams is more than half fit i think he comes in for Lippa.
Looking over the jscyhread there's a bunch of negativity, anr it makes no sense.
Sure hes had injury worries but the guy is a gun and we're better when he plays.

I don't think he has anything to do with it, it will be the medical staff who call it
Adams isn't best 22 anymore. That's the number 1 reason why he shouldn't play.

It probably would have been a bit lower too, had we been able to get De Goey on

Pretty confident that he’ll play, personally.
Pump him with pain killers and play him.
Tay was huge in 2018. If the fitness team give him the all clear, he's the sort of player I want out there Grand Final day.
Yeach surely he plays if he is right. Surely the fitness test finds him out? If he can't get to full pace he needs to withdraw himself. I trust he will do the right thing.
He would have been huge last night too, a heart and soul player best suited to scrappy contests.

Pain killers don't work with hamstrings.
If the team medics rule him fit to play, he will play.
Agree. We need his toughness and tenacity.
hop he is fit to play

He should play I think. He was already running around a day or two later.
Just a tweak or tightness.
In 1990 Alan Richardson was passed fit to play from a collarbone break, lethal had doubts and gave him his own fitness test, running through him and breaking his collarbone yet again.
Now I’m not saying we approach Taylor with the same brutality, but the concept has merit. His fitness test has to be thorough to the point that he may breakdown, if he passes that then great, if he doesn’t then it’s better to know now than take him into a granny NQR given his history with soft tissue injuries.

Agree, and I reckon Wadey will have that covered. I remember reading something about him putting a lot of work into designing rigorous fitness tests and that being a key skill for him.
Adams will have a gruelling week of SAS style training ahead me thinkey
