This is what rugby development is all about.

Most halfbacks don’t struggle with skill…
They struggle with speed into the pass.

That tiny delay from the ground → chest → release
is the difference between:
✔️ putting your 10 in space
❌ or shutting the whole play down

This drill forces:
– Strong base through contact
– Early catch position
– Fast, clean release under pressure

If you’re a 7, this isn’t optional.
This is how you control the game.

the tackle tube is perfect for this type of work.

Save this and add it into your next session.

Most athletes in Australia aren’t getting tested properly.

They train hard…
but they’re not being measured.

This is a small look into how we run our Combine testing.

We’re not guessing, we’re tracking:
• Reaction speed
• Movement efficiency
• Decision making under pressure

This is the difference between just training…
and actually knowing where you stand.

Big shoutout to Silver Fern Sport for the gear, best in the game and built for high-performance sessions.

Save this and test yourself.

Comment “Combine” and we’ll send you the full list of what we test.

Most players get this wrong…

They can pass one way, but freeze when it’s the other.

At SASS, we build complete players, not one-sided athletes.

✔️ Learn to spiral left AND right
✔️ Master hand positioning and finish
✔️ Pass into space, not just to the player
✔️ Put your teammate in a position to keep moving forward

Because the difference between average and elite?

Is being able to execute under pressure, both sides, every time.

Save this and start fixing your passing today.

Most players lose the breakdown before they even make contact.
They go straight in, too high, no footwork… and get dominated.
This drill fixes that.

We’re working:�• Fast feet reaction�• Getting off-centre (not running straight into bodies)�• Hitting THROUGH the gate�• Chasing feet on contact�• Staying up and blasting through

It’s not about being the biggest, it’s about arriving with the best position and intent.
Do this consistently and you’ll start winning collisions and owning the ruck.
best in the game and built for sessions like this.
Save this and add it into your sessions.

Most players think being unselfish means passing.

That’s wrong.

Being unselfish is making the RIGHT decision for your team,
and sometimes that means holding the ball and taking the space in front of you.

If there’s a hole and you pass… you’ve just killed the opportunity.

That’s why we teach “dummy → money.”

Sell the pass.
Move defenders with your eyes.
Stay square. Stay confident.
And if the space is still there… take it.

That’s how you create opportunities, not just use them.

Too many players rush decisions.
The best players stay composed and make defenders commit.

Be patient. Be direct. Be dangerous.

Save this to learn when NOT to pass.

Three years ago, Rosa walked into her first ever rugby session with us.

She wasn’t a rugby player.�She came from a netball background…�just a young athlete willing to try something new.

After that first session, she went home and told her mum and dad:�“I want to give rugby league a go.”
That decision changed everything.

Fast forward three years…�Rosa is now part of the NRLW Bulldogs Academy Development Pathway.

We went down to training recently… and there she was.�Competing. Belonging. Stepping into that next level.
Speaking with her dad, Alecki, he said something that stuck with us:�“You’ve been a big part of her journey.”

And that’s exactly what SaaS is about.
This isn’t just sessions.�This isn’t just drills.

This is real athlete development:�• Building confidence to try something new�• Developing core skills — catch, pass, speed, agility�• Learning how to compete and think in the game�• Creating an environment where athletes actually grow

Because not every kid starts in rugby.�But with the right coaching and environment, they can find their way into it.

Rosa is only 14.�And this is just the beginning.

For any parent watching this… this is what’s possible when your child is supported properly.

Sass isn’t just training.�It’s a pathway.
Whether you come for one session and see what real training looks like or you stay and develop in our system.

Part one was about building the foundation, skills, control, understanding.

But part two…
this is where players separate.

This is about the intricacies of trick plays.
Selling one thing… and doing another.

Because at the higher levels, everyone has skill.
Everyone can pass. Everyone can run.

What actually makes the difference…
is your ability to manipulate defenders.

We’re teaching Jeremy how to:
• hold defenders up
• play late into the line
• use his eyes and body to sell deception
• and create opportunities that aren’t even there yet

This is how you go from playing the game…
to controlling it.
