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.
