Re: Open training reports jan 2014
Excellent reports.
Good to see the guys are happy. We are on zero losses for the next 2 months guaranteed.
Looking forward to seeing Saad in the side in round 1 with plenty of LTI probability.

Re: Open training reports jan 2014
From what I saw the guys missing from the on-field drills/play: Steven, Schneider, Newnes, Gilbert, White, Membrey, Saunders, Sinclair, Markworth, Lonie; Riewoldt only ran some laps as mentioned earlier.
Maybe 100-200 people around the ground which looks in very good condition.
Great to see club staff handing out free scarves to the kids.
Billings as noted earlier has more muscle, Dunstan and Minchington also look more solid. Goddard will be a big man once his upper body/arms fill out. Think it was McKenzie - has huge legs. Mountain-Sibery (NZ Academy) very big already.
Despite it being overcast and windy, managed to get some sunburn!
Training drills were varied and mixed up with some match play, Longer and Holmes contesting the ruck. Liked a couple of passes McCartin made, he seems to know what to do and where to be.
Payne (rookie) got crunched in a tackle and looked to have a sore neck but seemed to be OK later.
Webster said his nickname is 'Spider'....

Re: Open training reports jan 2014
Eli, Billings, and Armo were the stand outs. Billings especially has a very steely resolve about him that only the great ones have.
Special mention to Ross, play just pauses and he keeps moving when he has the ball its just a gift some players have, I think its a Basketball thing.

Yeah he was there but his best work was out talking with the fans. He's big sweet, goofy, good natured guy. Didn't notice him much in the drills.
