Training 2018 Preseason Thread

[Blind Turn]

Sorry. I did say I hoped it was clickbait bullshit and was literally walking out the door when I posted it so didn't have time to try and dig deeper.

Not really blaming you Beery. Just unfortunate that it’s sitting at the top of the page and that I’m incapable of learning from past mistakes.

Jesus h christ Saad is a beast

 

[Howard Moon]

Everyone fapped over the hurley clip, yeh he looks trim and fit.. positive sign but he hardley killed that contest by fist. That's what he does the games he's not playing well, jumps at the contest but mistimes the punch or maybe deflects it back Into trouble...

He's looking more and more like a zone off man to me these days

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Given his age and time in the system Parish is still developing his strength. Whilst he isn’t small or weak, he isn’t a mongrel either. Far from it.
Guelfi will also surprise many with his strength and hardness at the contest including Parish it would seem.

Yehp hes going to play as a full time 3rd tall i reckon. Potentially even coming up as the quarterback reciever/sweeper at some stoppages it seems by looking at photos.

I thinm his kicking is really valued. Maybe its his dwpth and pwnetration of kicking that we lack and he has

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Hoping Stewart and Hartley are having massive pre seasons want these 2 blokes espically Stewart to take the next step.

 

[Blind Turn]

Just a heads up that there’s a blow-by-blow intraclub report up on Blitz at the moment.

Apparently Smith is killing it in the guts. And Parish is everywhere. And Joe kicks alright. And Stringer is a bit mid and a bit forward. And Franga is in a full body cast. And other stuff.

Seems Parish is a little campaigner even at training, one of the other articles mentions him getting into a push and shove with Devon Smith, one of the photos above he's getting in Merrett's face and Stringer is trying to pull him back. And then he got a blood nose Side needed a bit of campaigner and he's bringin' it in spades.

He was given the tagging job on Zerrett at times to practice protecting our best mid.

I also feel with the loss of Hocking, Howlett and Bird its a chance to develop a tagger if required

Featuring Stringer, Green, and.... is that Franga? Looks more like Stewart tbh but why would Stewart be playing defence?

It’s Redman I think

 

[Lore]

It’s Redman I think

If that's the case, whaaat

How tall is Redman supposed to be?

 

[quotemokc]

The hair makes me think its Hurley

Suspicious lack of shoulder tape/muscles

 

[Eleven 38]

I reckon it's Hurley. If you slow it down when he's on hands and knees the first number on his back is a 1 I reckon. Defintely not a 2 for Redman.

When I pause it like this I can see Hurley. Eyes on the ball the entire time. Bit disconcerting seeing him tackled like that though.

 

[quotemokc]

So if Hurley got 'ragdolled' by Stringer can we lay off Parish for getting shrugged now?

 

[Bombermania]

If that's Hurley being man-handled by Jake, god help the Doggies in round 3 it might get ugly.

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

That new guy wearin 25 looks alright.

 

[Keystone agony]

Im not sure how anyone sees someone else tha hurley

 

[BrunoV]

Hurley had end of season surgery so he's not going to be at his strongest but Stringer is also an animal and is the same size as Hurley.

Stringer is a weird player because his power game does not translate to playing as a power forward, at all, but he is brutal at ground level.

 

[bjisgod9]

Stringer could ragdoll anyone in that situation

 

[JayJ20]

Is that really Hurley? Stringer made him look like a misbehaving toddler being picked up by his father. Good times.
