Do you mean to say a pole is required in one room at least!

I'll put this up now for those interested. Btw, Johnson? Dead.. dead dead last. Over 2 mins behind Nick.

I thought it was him Nick was lapping.

A lot of work to do

Maybe he's keen to play closer to goal.

Did the more senior players not participate? Sidey usually clocks in a 6.10-20 doesn’t he?

I saw your other tweet about Johnson, Jen, and I have to say it's another bizarrely overly critical thing you've said about Ash which sticks out like a sore thumb given you go out of your way to find positives about everyone else on the list.

Grundy used to regularly feature at the arse end of the time trial but no one questioned it. Time trials ultimately mean very little as a comparative tool among teammates and should be viewed as a personal benchmark. I can't remember what his time was last pre-season. That's what we should compare it to, and also to the post-Christmas time trial.

Johnson having a quiet prelim also doesn't mean that he has to come back and ace a 2km time trial.

Again, I just feel like you have this weird thing about Johnson that seems to border on a dislike given you tend to be glowing about everyone else.

It was the 1st to 4th year players, plus whoever else wanted to turn up.
Pendles was there - he always is, which is why he is capable of entering his EIGHTEENTH season.

I know who was there. I’m asking who participated in the 2km. Sidey was there today, and judging by those times he would have waltzed in first unless he’s dropped off significantly, which is why I was asking if some of the older boys who were there didn’t participate.

Judging by the footage of the start there’s quite a few that didn’t run.

If he's more than two minutes behind Nick, that's an almost 9.00 2k. I'm pretty surprised because I do about 8.30, and I'm 38 and never played sports at a high level or anything. Almost a credit to him to be able to play at the the level despite being at such a disadvantage with his fitness. Has some good scope for improvement if he can crack in this pre-season.

Let's not forget that Ash did have a pretty bad hamstring injury so his time may reflect that. Fitness and medical staff maybe taking a cautious approach with him.

Hill seemed a long way back for a smaller bloke who’s wanting to play up on a wing etc. Perhaps he’s carrying a niggle

Tony Shaw played upfield and managed alright, after all it's about being where the ball is going and being organized mentally enough to put it to the advantage of a team mate before being tackled.

Speed is important but not vital if the football intellect is there in enough quantity to offset it.

Yeah i think Shawy would be stuffed these days with pushing up and down the mids do

[Jelly Bean]

The biggest insight I take from that is less about Nick winning, and more about how poor the times were overall. I guess it was only a select group of youngsters, but it was pretty slow

Yeah, they didn't apart from Noble and Cameron

 

[JuniorB]

The number couldn't be in better hands.
35 will be the number on my 8 year old son's new guernsey.
