The RNC Combine exists for one purpose — to uncover the next wave of elite collision athletes. Powered by Principle Sports Performance, the combine brings together world-class strength coaches, movement specialists, and performance scientists to run the most complete assessment system in Australian hybrid sport.
Every athlete entering the combine undergoes a full battery of tests including speed, reactive strength, power output, movement mechanics, acceleration, mobility, force production, aerobic capacity, anaerobic conditioning, and position-specific collision metrics.
Principle Sports Performance uses state-of-the-art testing equipment and methodology seen in top-tier NRL, AFL and NFL pathways — but adapted uniquely for the demands of the RNC rule set. No one tests, profiles, or prepares collision athletes like RNC.
This isn’t a try-out.
It’s a scientific breakdown of what it takes to become a hitter.
From amateur hopefuls to professional-level athletes transitioning from other codes, the RNC Combine is where the next generation earns their way into the spotlight — with data to prove they belong at the top.
