ooo take lots of photos and updates.

 

[hsquid]

So far just rotating in four groups doing some basic strength/balance exercises.
can confirm: Bonar is a unit, and Powell is looking solid. Jy and Wiphi partners and having a bit of a laugh here and there (delist). Lazarro laser focussed.
Now just about to start something else.

Big group of around 30.

 

[King Corey]

Trouble is he'd be spent by the end of Q1. I recall him saying that he's never run 4 full laps of an athlete track (1600m) in one go in his life.

All true but if franchises were willing to punt on Hunt and Folau they might as well have gone for the 100 metre GOAT too.

 

[hsquid]

Did some 3/4 run-throughs just to warm up, then 10 mins of practicing low 25 m passes to a stationary target. Now in squads again. In front of me is an interesting exercise where there is an elastic tied to two bins and they have to get down low and side-on to collect a ground ball at pace going under the elastic.

"Don't rush, focus on the technical aspects" says one coach.

At least if they don't make it at football they'll be match fit for Limbo.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Is TT out there yet?

No

 

[hsquid]

Just one guy doing rehab, not sure who it is.

 

[hsquid]

They’re now doing drills to transition the ball end to end under minimal pressure.
Jy and Larkey running laps.

Paddy walker.

 

[Shinboner1]

Keep up the good work man!

 

[shinboner magic]

How’s captain Jy looking ?

 

[Jasemon]

Perez out there?

 

[Reagan Smash]

Is Thomas injured ?

 

[Shinboner1]

Is Thomas injured ?

Nah I reckon he's covid hesitant.
Seems to be out in the public so its not like he's had to isolate for 2 weeks and the 1-4 years would have had to be back by now.
If he's not there by monday the 6th then there's something happening.

Ok, I had to leave after that. The last thing they were doing before I left was a drill where there are 2 defending 3 targets and a kicker has to pick out a pass. Looked like a good 'real life' kind of exercise.

• Perez was out there and looked sublime. Oh my god if he comes good... His kicking was just about the best of them, everything perfectly weighted. No bib, no indication of doing less than the others.
• The rumour is that Thomas had covid but I didn't get any more info on that today.
• Jy looks like he always does, smooth as.
• If that's Paddy Walker, he's a good size. It looked like 'third tall' size to me, with a good bit of bulk on.
• Hall was there and looking really focused. There were a couple of players that just looked really switched on in the few seconds when they were on the spot.
• Comben was there in full training and moving fine.
• The clock was out and in full use.
• There was a photographer there and one of the trainers had a drone overhead. I imagine there will be some more pictures - better than mine - showing up on the website later.

Sorry for the crappy photo quality, the sun was in the wrong place but if I went round the other side it would have been too far away.

Good to hear Larkey, hall and Jy all back early

Thanks for posting bud.
Appreciate the effort.
Training info is like crack.
I always want more!!

Yes, all 5 of them were there. Goater is "Goat".

I forgot to mention one exercise they did right in front of me, where I really got to see their kicking. The idea is for a leading forward to wait, then run on to a kick to the side of them, as if a forward is leading sideways from 20m out. The emphasis was on weighting the kick, and to kick *before* the lead, so the leader could time and judge their run. Wiphi messed up one kick, so did LDU, so did Bergman. This is the drill in which Perez stood out. They did ok overall, but it was interesting how much harder it was for them to do these kicks than the ones straight to the stationary target (which they got 95% on target) as the trajectory matters for the timing of the lead and there's a lot less ability for the marker to adjust if the height is wrong. I guess that's why it's better to lead at the football...
