Opinion Pre Season Training

[wendog33]

Sam Hughes looks to have built up.

Would seem to be the most obvious to be moved on. Must be CC fav after all

CC's favourites are obvious. They're the players that pout in the most and set high standards. As a coach, mentor or even a teacher you would love these guys.

The hate for Hayze is honestly a bit overboard... He did what he could in a shit team. He isn't the worse player in the world and would probably shine in a team like the Panthers.

As a bit player. Not a spine.

Was always big, just couldn't move freely. Now running around like a backrower and is pretty skillful for a big guy.

Actually last time I big noted someone was Thommo so ill shut up now. HUGHES IS SHIT, HES SHIT! FORGET ABOUT HUGHES!

No not spine... center if he gets his D right.

Farkkk i still remember the day thinking there goes our season.

No joke he was easily the best trainer through all pre season and was going to see him at his best without any doubt.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

With Tracey injured, does that increase Xerri's chances of starting round 1?

Apparently he'll be back for training sometime in January and should be fine for the trials.

Either way, I can't see him starting the year in grade.

No hate here but I don’t rate him especially at fullback. The issue with last season was everyone tried to do to much, play outside their abilities because we lacked so much and looked like headless chickens. Perham would probably be good for a bellyache team, stick to your roll and do it well.

Watch SL to see how he goes next year.

Rather not... boats sailed, sunk, sailed, sunk, rocketed into oblivion. Cya.

Matt Scott regen....but taller and more agile.

 

[cookieman909]

Sam Hughes with a pre season will have a monster year next year. I’m convinced he’ll be a gun.

I am excited to see how Sam Hughes and Chris Patolo go this season

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Russell plays over Dunster at Eel and he's better than Perham (same with Toa at Tiger). Perham would be a gamble even as a minimum wage depth guy (most likely waste of top 30 spot). I'd be surprised if someone wanted him.

I don't mind Russell. Hes not the biggest or the fastest, but the bloke always has a crack.

Agree...floundered and just never got off the rocks.

As Gould has alluded to there is probably more ability in the younger props than what most supporters are aware of - Hughes and Patolo have rarely played more than three or four games in a row without and injury - one or both might stepping up would solve a lot of problems particularly Hughes given his size. Montgomery, although not huge improved throughout last year might also be a factor.

Saw a bit of training yesterday Patolo, Edwards and Sutton were only watching (with Connor Tracey) so i assume already injured!!

Yeah im sure Patolo and Hughes didn’t even have a pre season last year due to injuries, Hughes with his back, and then Patolo with his knee?

I thought Patolo finished 2021 off strong and would kick on, but hasn’t done much since. Hopefully he and Hughes can have a big year.

Not sure about Hughes but Patolo had a ripper pre season last year and was looking good. Then got bruising behind his knee or something like that with like 2 or 3 weeks to go. Seemed to affect him all year. Jan 2023 we were looking good. By March we were fucked.
