Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[Yardie]

Trying be cute using pendant rather than pedant, but clearly missed.
I’m with you, words matter.

I did miss it! Love it.

Now I want to be a pendant....or maybe a talisman......

For those watching matching sim today,
curious to where the following guys lined up - Weddle,Jiath,C-Mac.

Jiath wing
Weddle Half back
Croc as a half forward

 

[Newmo89]

CJ seemed more up the ground (wing?), Weddle half back and Croc looked to be going through the middle. Can’t be 100% though, it’s hard with all the vests.

Croc was more half forward pushing up

For what its worth. Scrimshaw who had his issues last pre season looks great out there today. His kicking was a standout and he looks fit and primed

Physically CJ has looked the best he has in quite a few months.

This is what I forgot to mention more of last week in my training report. He looks like he’s getting around with high levels of confidence. You can tell he’s put the work in and it’s not BS anymore. Looks great out there doesn’t he..

Is it likely that the cause of his calf issues also caused the Achilles injury or are they unrelated?

I'm keen to see whether this forced lay off & proper rehab helps his other persistent leg issues

sven_inc any idea mate?

Apologies if this has already been answered but I’m playing catch-up on the thread as we speak!

One thing we see a lot is that because we call them different things - like a calf and an achilles, it gives off the impression that they are seperate, isolated things, when in fact one just flows into the other.

Obviously I can’t be sure without getting my hands on him, but I’d expect them to based on the same root dysfunction - just expressing itself differently.

Without wanting to bore anyone, I usually find calves and achilles have a strong relationship to things like restricted ankle joints and lower back dysfunction.

Chad is one I’d love to assess for myself to get an understanding of why he’s been dealing with what he has.

Great to hear he’s making strong progress!

Thanks for reports. Any views on who’s in the best 25 - ie serong, butler, DGB, Mackenzie, Ramma, Watson in the mix?

For those wanting a glimpse of Watto at training

Anyone notice the nice little lead up mark from DGB?

 

[Colloquy]

Will Lewis ever get through a full pre season and most games in a season without a injury.

Without wanting to bore anyone

I think I speak for most on here when I say your posts always offer fascinating insight on player injuries. Don't hold back.

Get the oldest then you would think you would get them all if they are good enough that is why I think port will go very hard at getting him wouldn’t want to miss out on them all.

Two boys, two girls actually

 

[rei154]

Impey gassing up Ky on IG, no doubt Impey wants him at the club and is doing what he can to get him in!

 

[Gene Simmons]

Will Lewis ever get through a full pre season and most games in a season without a injury.

On a positive note, he has injured himself 2 months out from Round 1.. usually he injures himself 2 weeks out.

Rolled Ankle

[grumbleguts]

Newcombe's speed in the agility pole exercise on Instagram is unreal for a bloke of his build.

How frustrating that we'll now never know if he matches Christian Petracca's weight. At last check he was 2kgs behind him.

After seeing the cash converters ad, pretty sure the 2kg is all in skull thickness.

Yeah, if more people got to training they’d see that the “rehab” group is a revolving door of players with little niggles, body management or minor injuries from session to session.

So our Coaches & Trainers are incompetent & our players are always injured?
