2026 Pre-Season Thread

[Maverick]

There are 6 backline positions. Each has a responsibility for their direct opponent.

This term lockdown defender.

Reminds me of the time Big Bodied mid was all the rage. Whipped out recruiting into a frenzy recruiting players such as Jarrad Jensen and Eli Smith.

I reckon there are often 7 backline positions depending on who we play

Wouldn’t we just play Gardiner in the Starce role? Especially with Payne coming back

Err - Noah Answerth says hi.

I know there is a fair bit of perspective issues with him next to Linc and Allen at the back. But he really does look like a bit of a monster there.

reports this morning had the weather in Ipswich at 37 degrees with humidity close to 90 after yesterdays storms. there would be no wind there. For those not used to it, just breathing hurts.

31 C in Brisbane, 32 C in Springfield at the moment and humid as, with a chance of a storm. Don't worry it will cool down in May!

Hope Linc and Kiddy can get a good run of games this year.

Answerth running? I thought he was scheduled to start with running in the new year with a mid-season on field return?

 

[irel]

Expecting a huge year from McGlaggage, he’s looking fitter and sharper than ever in that pic.
Primed.

Is that Allen and Hayes he is standing between? Seems about Harris height.

Fair to say our new arrivals have experienced a quintessential Queensland summer's day today!

 

[Coastal Lion]

Good to see both OA and big Drapes on the track.
Matho mentioned both were good to go for pre season.
Spots in best 23 will be in demand if we get Kiddy and Linc back to the selection table.
Genuine smile seeing Noah running.
