Thanks for the report reubsblues. Obviously they thought getting Fisher at pick 27 means they thought he was good. To be showing great things so soon is great to hear & exciting.
He looks like he should be playing under 14s for the local junior club but thats the best thing about our game size doesn't matter

Well, actually it does. But occasionally a too small guy is freakishly good enough to make it.

Let's hope Zac is a freak.

Hi all, called in for an early lunch at Sharks today.

Hadn't even got to the fence and in match simulation Simmo with dash off half back hits his target with a 40metre pass to advantage. didn't have to break stride. Had to go back to the car for some new pants and to freshen up.

Players split into two groups and I followed the forwards down to watch some shots under pressure. Wright and SOSOS were really accurate from everywhere and couldn't help but notice Charlie's roost. was getting some serious distance and was not far behind with accuracy.

They then went back to a controlled match simulation drill where they were bringing the ball out of defence. Again couldn't help notice Charlie who seemed to set up from the centre and was breaking to the wing to provide an option for release ball from half back. Gorringe was drifting forward and took some strong grabs at the highest point. Really clean and the ball just stuck.

Bolts then took the a group where the drill was simply a one on one marking contest. no leading just body positioning and strength. H Mac (drool) dominated this drill. He seriously knows where to position himself and I never seen him beaten, just seemed to keep body contact and then eases away to take a clean grab.

Interesting Jones and Jaksch competed through these drills and Jaksch was easily the more dominant, not sure if that really means squat though.
Will post some photos soon, Bolts bailed me up to make sure I wasn't recording an footage and to make sure it was just photos. Little man has some authority in his voice, I was ready to go and sit in the naughty corner.

Was only a 40 minute snippet, but was well impressed with the chatter and intensity. Hope to get back on Friday as well as Sunday.

Dropped in this morning and watched the boys training, all the boys look it great shape as you would expect this time of year they trained with great intensity and enthusiasm got to talk to one of training stuff members and told me some things 86 players and stuff made the trip to gold coast and are here till next Wednesday the club think they got a absolute steal getting Fisher who he said has been dominant in any match simulation they've had. I mentioned Charlie Curnow and the club think this boy could be anything possibly the next Kouta"no pressure " also asked about the gibbs trade and sos was never going to trade unless we got a great deal that we couldn't refuse . After the running and ball drills they had a match simulation and the players that stood out to me was clearly gibbs he was absolutely dominant and is all class and im so glad we kept him, Doc, kerridge, wright also where good Phillips i think will end up our number one ruckmen is great at his tap work and of the young fellas Cunningham, marchbank, plowman and Curnow all impressed just before i left crippa came out and sat just in front of me i said gday and ask how his back was and he said he is feeling great and will be back running in January. Hope my report is ok fellas and im goin to watch open training session Sunday at 12.30

Awesome training report, reub.

A bit too 'real' for me, though :cool:
