What should T Bugg do in his 6 weeks off other than the bleeding obvious?

[Dee-mon 9]

Okay.  Forget the (media) hysteria.  I just watched a segment on that show The Footy Show (F*k I've actually worked as a camera operator on the show, sadly.  But it paid a bill).  
However, where does it stop in aligning what Buggy did (in one incident) to this great cause to stamp out the punch?  yet use Buggy as an example?  Of course no one wants to have the 'punch' as a part of the modern / developing game.  But give it a rest by using peeps and draining every ounce of blood out of those who made a mistake (just to wheel a barrow). POQ

So... what if anything (other than train hard) does Buggy need or should do in his six weeks to respond?

I suggest...

a) Get a crew cut! (clean up the mop top).  I know it sounds corny.  But a short hair cut invokes an image of seriousness at the same time sincere drive (Goody and the military). Blah
b) Spend some dedicated hours (aside from training protocols) with the coaches.  On all lines.  Plus in the coaches box match day.  And so he can take up greater understandings of the game.  And what real team (fighting for each other) really means - to another level.  Which is not to say Buggy is not remorseful for his actions or incapable of understanding the meaning of consequence(s).

Any ideas?  Or am I deluded by wine and this cold weather?

Get his set shots lined up straight.

Maybe needs to imagine that in between the big stick there's an unsuspecting jaw.

Volunteer at a hospital.  He can have a really good look at what happens when you clobber someone like that.  Plus he'd look great in the pink dress.

Six weeks is 42 days. And therein lies your answer.

Just be himself and train hard.

Treat this as a preseason.  Go back to basics and build his fitness and skills.

be the best damned clubman and earn the respect of his teammates

Show remorse

Stay out of the media

Work out how he gets to be best 22, and work his arse off to become that.

I agree with this. And he should do it without any PR or cameras in tow and without him mentioning it on his social media. Alternatively, or as well, he could spend some time visiting or working with something like the James McReady Bryan Foundation where he might understand the potential consequences of a single punch to the head. Professional footballers get paid for allowing other people to watch what they do. He needs to understand that people watch everything they do and some fools replicate what they see on the field.

Totally agree with the suggestion that Bugg spends some time volunteering in a hospital or similar.

Also six weeks spent stacking shelves or performing manual labour, followed by training at night with a local club, might provide him with a reality check. 

I'd keep him away from the club for at least the first three weeks of his suspension.

.... Stay as close to Viney and Jones as he can (without it being wierd) and watch and learn!
I actually think 6 weeks has ended his season, and given that I don't think he is part of the best 22, he has some genuine concerns about 2018 and beyond. Not because of what he did, but where he sits in the pecking order with a healthy list.

[PaulRB 6,435]

I think Bugg had established himself well in our 22 and played some good games and roles, so while I'd love to believe we wont have another injury or setback to any other players this year, the reality is we're most likely to.

Given that, I suspect Bugg will be back and will give us a good option late in the season/finals.

I just re read the thread title and am confused.

"What should Buggy do in his 6 weeks off? Other than the bleeding obvious he needs to train & regain hard."

Not quite sure what you are referring to there.   A bit like Broooooce in the absence of Cyyyrrillll?

No intention or ref meant.  Regain hard =  regain (respect) by earnestly earnt hard work
