Hey Robbo18! - really enjoy your insights. Can you tell us what alcohol consumption protocols the Lions have in place with so many young players on our list...I ask this question in light of the stuff happening 100km down the M3!
Common sense approach.
Nothing after the final session prior to the game I think. None during an injury rehab lay off period.
Apart from that if you abuse it then be prepared for the consequences.
I asked this question directly to Leppa the day he came round home when Nick was drafted.
Seems to be working pretty well.
 
He's gotten a lot stronger over the last pre season.
No kidding! Even in January after seeing him struggle to break tackles I recall thinking this'd be another "development" year for him mostly in the ressies. Kudos to him for making great strides since then. He's been a real bright spot in a pretty gloomy year for Lions supporters.

Dat fend off

Better when you can readily get separation and it's not required but am happy enough at the moment
Love the fend off when on my team but a good tackler who might be ready for it can get the ball off you

Just an update on Nicks shoulder,
No fractures or structural damage
No dislocation or ligament damage that could be detected from the CT scan
Docs to asses the reason for so much joint pain back in Brissy
Back at the hotel now and flys out with the team in the morning.
May not be as bad as it looked.
Fingers crossed!!!!

That's fantastic news Robbo18.....we need good news for a change.

Have become very impressed with how young Nick has developed. He's gone from a raw skinny kid, to a mature looking footballer...........and I like the whacky haircut!:D

Regards to Nick from me, for a speedy recovery. He is fast becoming a much loved Lion.

Fantastic news!!! Kid's a ripper
I speak from experience when I say there are a lot of nerves in that area that are VERY sensitive - hopefully it was just a badly trapped nerve
