Went down to watch another training sesh on a glorious Sydney day... training is still buzzing, boys are really gelling and the competition for spots is heating up even though it looks like the 17 has already been picked.
Bit of an update.
Newbies notice board...
Nado... Blokes been given free reign and reminds me abit of Inu, hopefully can convert it onto the footy field.
Foxi... His attitude, laughter and energy, second to none... He and Mase get along VERY WELL! ( Mase wants to play, can tell by the way he trains with the boys like he is getting ready for the weekends game lol)
Burton.. Pretty quiet.. Definitely doesn't look like he will be running the show, looks like a team effort tbh.
Dufty.. Watch out for this kid... Untouchable today... Linked up with Nado crabbin across field and tore the defense to shreds. Constantly trailing the forwards through the ruck... So good to see a real fullback!
King.. Energtic and has good leadership values.
Vaughan... Or Vaughny! Guy is a beast, quick, skillful, good wrestle and always impressing everyone... leading by example. What a grab!
Lume was moping around training.. Thommo did his ankle but nothing serious. Alamoti and Burns being absolutely milked in the heat today with fitness tests. Burns is a good bloke and you can tell he is loving the club, hope the bloke gets a decent run.
Stimson has lost ALOT of weight, Jacko and Hetho looking VERY hungry!
JMK looking better out of dummy half, few show and goes looked promising.
Averillo looking very sharp in first receiver.
BBO, Wakeham and Topine are hungry for some first grade.
From today the line-up looks...
Dufty - If this kid is happy, hold the fcuk on.
JAC - His speed cracks everyone up lol
Naden - Everybody loves him
Right centre - Spot up for grabs tbh Allen, Burns, Schoupp and Alamoti in the mix.
Okunbor - Lad is a BIG winger, hopefully had a breakout season
Burton - the running half.
Averillo - Looks to have the same role as last year
Thommo - has some serious comp for his spot
JMK - Would be annoying if this guy finally comes good now...
Vaughan - Buy of the season, value for money.
TPJ - Beast.. Going to cause so much trouble on the left egde.
Hetho - signed and sealed on the right
Jacko - Freak!
Stimson will get a spot on the bench
King maybe
RFM maybe when fit
The bench spots really look like they are up for grabs...
No Ava and Schoupp at training today..
PS trying to upload vids but not working.. any suggestions?
