If I might be so bold as to suggest that you give up on Drafty, once he establishes a view on a player he locks it in and holds onto it with unmatched stubbornness. He should play which side is one of his favourites.
Cheers for the insight. Hoping to hear moreI went down there this morning and here are some of my observations that i thought some may be interested in
- Isaac Lumelume was there, first training session. Got straight into the drills and seemed to fit in pretty well. Plenty of talk during drills etc. Burton also getting into things
- No sign of Cotric, I didn't notice Dufty or a couple of others, so could have been elsewhere
- Zap is helping the coaching staff with drills etc. now, and says he is enjoying the change (you can all stop complaining about his interview skills now i guess?)
- Tui Katoa also there helping out the coaching team which was good to see
- Big Willie also there bouncing around on the field bringing his usual energy
- Thommo and Vaughan were into each other a bit, revving each other up a bit in the opposed sessions on opposite "teams". Looks like they will work well together
- Two different opposed sessions running at the same time, basically 4 teams, the top guys mixed between 2 sides and opposing each other, though there were positional changes throughout. BBO, Wakeham & Flanno all looked to have turns at right side on their teams at different times. Any thoughts that they know who they will go with will be hard to see from these sessions though
- Naden mainly lined up at left centre from what i noticed
- Schoupp outside him at left wing for the opposed session
- Gus was there and did occasionally get out on the field and have a chat with Baz, but also just hung back and watched from the stands for the majority
- Baz did rip into them a bit at times when passes were getting a bit loose etc. was good to see it being quickly addressed and level would go up
- Some good talk coming from the guys during huddles / drinks etc. a couple coming from unlikely suspects too. eg. Stimson, who does look in pretty good shape
- Rehab crew came over towards the end - Doorey, Averillo, Ava, Averillo etc
- Jacko, Jackson Topine, Thommo & Vaughan all stood out for their training efforts from what i saw, leading the way but not really a surprise
Enjoy
I'm taking credit for this. I complained about it on twitter and haven't heard his terrible questions since. It stopped thereafter
Haha bloody Pascoe. What a douchenozzle he is.

You definitely weren't the only one complaining
Have a go at big Willie in Burtos ear!
Here come the kennel coaches complaining cause they r having fun lol
Man that Turahui kid looks like a beast. I had a look at him play in the 9s in 2020 and he looks solid. Smokey for that 17 jersey but atm I have RFM ahead pending fitness.
I think its great to have 3 new players who have already trained and played together. They should hopefully hit the ground running and help the team gell a little quicker. Here's hoping anyway.
