Lets ask a better question here: how would improving someone's strength base not make them stronger, faster and less easily pushed around on the football field?
You're confusing people thinking that Starting Strength is a bad program for a weight trained individual with people saying that strength training is bad

study please. It goes to figure that once we push over 180/140/220 carryover won't be as significant, that doesn't mean we need to throw basic strength training out the window.
Oh wait, this guy doesn't even have a 1.8 BW squat? your arguments retarded.
What if a guy 10kg heavier than you, lifts the same as you and is as fast as you goes to tackle you. You'd run into him and he would come out on top. What if you squatted 50% more than him? You'd probably be the one to run through the other
I never said anything should be thrown out the window. MxS should be trained at all times (to varying degrees obviously) But the load/time required to go from a 200kg squat to 250kg wouldn't be worth the return.
Being an athlete is about optimization not maximization.
If his RSA is poor, what is another 10kg going to do on his squat? Likewise if he's deficient in a particular energy system? Heck, if he can't catch and pass or track and tackle, no amount of strength work (even at 1.4x bw) is going to get him into Premier grade.
Strength is massively important, and it seems his numbers are low, but he is an athlete first and foremost. If he passes those benchmarks, can run a sub 3s 20, has a yo-yo or such over 20 and has a good measure of RSA, then he can chase a massive squat but his goal is to play premier grade, and regardless of how strong or weak he is, that may have absolutely nothing to do with why he isn't.
Again where's the study?
Another energy system? its well known that weightlifting increases a cardiovascular base by itself (something cardio alone doesn't do)
