When looking at GR’s pics and you finally realise Kayne Turner is still on our list

 

[blackshadow]

I'm not riding him off either, he's in my Supercoach team.

Looking forward to you introducing [mention]Ligma [/mention] to the joys of SuperCoach!

Man, Archer didn’t get much of a write up when he was drafted. I mean we all knew his strengths at that point. But to be going toe to toe with Jy in these gut running drills means this kid has some serious elite traits.

Sheez has already dropped the little bit of puppy fat he had. Looks in ripping nick.

I was told that the Warlord participated in just about everything today.

I reckon it will be an adjustment for us fans to be watching Sheezel this season. He is all class.

There was nothing overly impressive about his athletic profile when he was drafted either. Just goes to show how much you can improve if you really knuckle down and put in the work.

He won't die wondering that's for sure.

Spot on that’s what I mean. The only thing we knew was he had some tenacity this is seriously impressive

 

[JGreezy]

So do we reckon Archer will take a spot in the best 22?

Yep, Lockdown small defender. There isn't anyone else that can really play that position imo, outside of Turner.

This Drury kid has quite splendid calf muscles.

Did Wardlaw beat Thomas in the time trial?

Unsure. Still waiting for Tarryn to finish

Does he have the wheels to go with elite small forwards?

A lot of the elite small forwards in the comp aren’t endurance beasts but will hurt you with their pace. They only need a small amount of separation to make you pay.

If he has the wheels and endurance he could actually start to hurt the opposition small forwards by being able to run off them and make them more accountable.

To be honest I would rather see us trial Archer than wasting more time into Turner.

Turner should be break glass in case of emergency only.

i asked for some training photos and was given a puma sock advert instead

After the time trial. Clarko had a lot to say during the recovery.

Cunnington beat him and this time last year was fighting cancer...

TT saying g'day to Shiels.

[Roosurgence]

Cunners runs like he's in sand. Unclear if that's normal for him or if he's still got some aerobic catching up to do

You have this all wrong.

Cunners doesn’t actually run. He stands still and rotates the earth beneath him

wasnt in the best 200+ 18 year olds in the country apparently

 

[kool kangas]

Anything on the Goat? l'm hearing from his mates that he's bulked up..

It was a 1.8km time trial - no question it tests fitness but players are barely 12 minutes into the first quarter when decent runners have only covered 2km.

Would be great to see the results of a 4 × 4km shuttle run or a 16km run.

No player is running 1.8km at once without a break, let alone 4km/16km. The game is stop/start.

1.8km as a fitness indicator is more than enough

Decent set of thighs on WillPhil, plus low centre of gravity should make him extremely hard to tackle or brush aside, can't wait to see him back on duty.
