Training Training Thread 2023

[My Left Foote]

Can anyone tell who the bloke is in front of Xerri?

It’s Cunners, he’s come back to preseason early in disguise so TZ doesn’t know.

Robbie Nahas?

Eddie Ford?

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

He's an inside bull who is going to get caught on the spread because he's slower than a wet week, but that's why we have LDU, Phillips, Wardlaw etc. They run both ways so Cunners doesn't have to

We have Wardlaw already?! ; )

Sounds like a great prospect for sure.

 

[Horace]

I’d rather cunners at Arden st trying to set an example that a senior player is returning early.

Like jack has done and jy and Hugh and Luke and Kayne etc

Especially after having limited training and being around the group for the last year for obvious reasons

You really are a piece of work. Cunners has more credits in the bank than anyone in our team and after what he has been through, you have the audacity to criticise him.

Disgraceful stuff on your part.

It’s not about credits in the bank

All players even the best ones can improve and also doesn’t stop them from coming back early to set standards

Now if this year was a one off I probably wouldn’t mention it but cunners never comes back early to set the tone. He stays on his farm and comes back when he has to

This year is a one off, as he’s coming back from a life threatening cancer battle.

I mean for f*** sake, how ignorant do you need to be to fight this battle?

Again it’s not just about this year

What about the other years

It’s a very simple factual observation that you are getting worked up about

This is the 2022/23 preseason thread.

So because he "should" have been at the club early previous years, but wasn't, that invalidates him having a pretty decent excuse for... doing what he always does?

It's just such a ****ing strange thing to bring attention to in the first place, tZ, and your refusal to back down from what amounts to shaming a bloke who has been battling cancer kind of doesn't sit well with people. Surely you can see the reason for the pushback?

You have absolutely no idea and never will. The stuff he will be doing at his farm more than covers any work he might do if he "returns early".

returning early is as much for him as it is for the other teammates to get to train with him more

And see other senior players wanting to come back early in their own time (and to help make them all better faster)

Snake was banished from this board but I doubt if he would have ever posted such disgraceful stuff as you do.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

There is a clear difference.

I don't agree with theZiebull regarding Cunnington whatsoever, but that comparison isn't correct or necessary.

Thanks for your advice, but no thanks.

 

[Fish Sticks]

Here we go again…
Banging your head against a brick wall would be more fruitful than arguing with tZ.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

No advice given.

You are wrong in your assessment.

That's on you not me.

This is what everyone looks like trying to talk to him

I agree it's been a terrible few pages. But this is a forum to share opinions.

But comparing tZ to Snake simply isn't correct and in my opinion unfair.

 

[Horace]

That's on you not me.

In my opinion, I am not. And I won't be lectured by you.

FYI, I do my best to ignore you. Perhaps you could do the same with me from here on.

Thank-you in advance.

 

[Roo096]

As long as they look after themselves during the break and comeback with the right attitude that's all that matters.Cunners at his age doesn't need the extra workload

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Not lecturing at all, but if you think tZ is like Snake it's a very (very) strange comparison.

It's in your head because you disagree.

So you're now ignoring me because you disagree with me?

Again, that says more about you than me.

I’m fully aware how forums work & differing opinions are welcome.
tZ stays away from personal attacks, which is admirable when he is coping it from all angles on occasion.
It’s the flogging of a dead horse on many topics that becomes tiresome though.

I 100% agree on that.

The Z knows my position on his Cunners views (I disagree ) but comparing to Snake simply isn't right or fair.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Alright everyone time to just focus on the positives now

A big shoutout to the senior lads (jy, greenwood, tucker, Kayne, JZ, lmac etc) who have come back early to help set the tone with the younger lads

Looking forward to the official day 1 of preseason content on Monday next week for the first to four year players
