Training Preseason Thread

So what I gather from the replies is heppell is no sure thing for when the captaincy is passed on.
Is it due to how he faired this year as skipper?

He will most likely be our next captain, some people on here just think (including myself) there are better leaders at the club that would make better captains such as Hooker.

Agreed. If Jobe doesn't want the captaincy, I would personally prefer Old Hook to be skipper. I just don't think there's much need to burden Heppell with the captaincy just yet, as ready as he seems for it. But having said that, I'd be very open to a co-captaincy setup with Hooker and Heppell if they were okay with it.

I'm a little concerned with the way he's built up that he won't be too mobile.

Hard to determine the tank size too.

Yeah but he seems to have a solid enough foundation, something to build on for sure.

Has very muscular S-bends...and a great (septic) tank

And we can always get the back-pocket plumber to sort him out if he goes astray...

Hey guys, sticking my neck out by posting in these parts, but I wrote a 2016 season preview article for the Bombers. Have a look, ignore it, do whatever.

All pretty spot on.
Best 22 looks about as good as anyone else's on here, except that you (I'm sure accidentally) missed Heppell.

It's not even that, it's the sheer cringe factor of the sig...yikes.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Great to hear Worsfold arranged a surprise wet weather training session by turning the sprinklers on. I've often wondered why they don't do this more. I remember an episode of The Hangar where they mentioned they trained inside because it was raining and was bewildered considering our poor wet weather record.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Good. They should put a bit of soap in the water next time too.

Don't want to kill the grass, yo!

 

[Old Campaigner]

Use biodegradable soap or something.
