Opinion Pre Season Training

[gregeastwood]

Was at the training session this morning also.
Couple of notes I got from it:
- Boys did an opposing session against each other and pretty much confirmed their positions for the start of the year
- Poasa came off during the opposing session with a wrist injury
- Samrani limping a little bit
- Poasa and Addo Carr were both quite behind the rest of the team during the beep test. Addo Carr a tad bit unfit
- Kiraz, Perham and Harry Hayes dominated the beep test
- Joash Papali lined up for the reserve grade side at fullback. Kid is quick off the mark and got insane pace.
- Kiraz training a bit in centre past two training sessions
- Hutchison and Sexton sharing the halfback role
- Forwards lack some go forward but the middle is quite strong with Mann and Curran controlling the middle defence
- Taffee very loud and directive at fullback.
- Crichton, even though not training, shouting and directing the boys. Fitting in perfectly
Judging from the past 2 training sessions I feel the side might be structured as
1. Blake Taffee
2. Josh Addo Carr
3. Connor Tracey/Bronson Xerri
4. Stephen Crichton
5. Jacob Kiraz/Blake Wilson
6. Matt Burton
7. Toby Sexton/ Drew Hutchison
8. Josh Curran
9. Reed Mahoney
10. Max King
11. Viliame Kikau
12. Jacob Preston
13. Kurt Mann
14. Jake Turpin
15. Raymond Faitala Mariner
16. Samuel Hughes
17. Liam Knight

Is Tracey fully training?

 

[Phalangist]

Watched a bit of training this morning - Kikau, Knight Sutton RFM Tracey - not training with main grp although Chrichton still heavily involved in directing defensive line Patolo- still just walking around.

Salmon training with reserves, as someone suggested - Didnt see Montgomery - someone asked had he left the club(?) Didnt see King at all - maybe also injured (he is a middle!)

Opposed session - more like opposed drills - lots of passes missing the mark

Both Poasa F and Samrani seemed to get injured during the session.

can samrani get through a training session or a game without getting injured

 

[gregeastwood]

Is Tracey fully training?

At the moment he isn’t and honestly I don’t think he’ll be fit and ready in time for our trial games but he just might be for Round 1

What a disaster

 

[CrittaMagic69]

At the moment he isn’t and honestly I don’t think he’ll be fit and ready in time for our trial games but he just might be for Round 1

So Michelle Bishop was right about the extent of Tracey's injury and Gus lied to us?

 

[steeliz]

What a disaster

Were you there?

 

[Bulldog1966]

Were you there?

No..he cbf! Marley is just imparting his special positive outlook for season 24 lolol

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Were you there?

I don't need to be, I've got eyes and have seen all these players play. Curran @ prop with Mann starting lock is bat shit crazy.

So if you weren't there what exactly did your eyes see?

 

[CrittaMagic69]

So if you weren't there what exactly did your eyes see?

What's it matter? I've already seen them play. Players don't join the Bulldogs are suddenly become better and/or competent in positions they've got no experience in. Curran @ lock. Mann bench. Curran is not a prop and Mann is not good enough to start.

This is the pre-season.

Time to experiment and see what works.

There has been a 33.33% turnover in players in the the FG squad.

No one has seen this team play.

You weren't even at the training session and declare it a disaster.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Called what? That Curran @ prop is a shit call? I agree.

I don't need to see this team play if that's how we line up. Anyone that has watched rugby league can tell that's going to be a disaster.

 

[Sauce Head]

Gotta be said, every player spent an eternity with the fans post training. Photos, autographs, a chat, a “thanks for coming”. It was a 2.5 hour session!

I took 4 kids under 10 and dead set, their jerseys are a sea of autographs. Great stuff.

So basically you are making a ill-informed assumption and labelling it as fact.
