    Re: Preseason Training - 2019

    I like Schache and think he has a bright future so long as he continues to apply himself. Showed some nice signs last year and with a bigger tank/stronger body and more exposure, he'll only improve. Worth noting he's been involved in some poor sides too, so as we mature as a side, that should help.

    I do think Schache would enjoy a foil such as a fit/firing Tom Boyd or somebody like a Max King.

    I'm sure JJ's not nearly that mean-spirited. Me on the other hand ...

    I don't mind paying blokes big money but they have to be earning it with performance and if the performance isn't there (as it hasn't been with JJ over the last two years) then they should be pulling out all the stops to ensure they are getting back to the level that sees him as one of our best renumerated players. It's a simple equation, if you are one of the best payed players then you should be one of the best performed too and JJ is a long way short of being that.
    I think he's a professional athlete whose management negotiated the best deal they could while his employer chose to remunerate him for what they see as his worth. I think he owes it to his employer to perform his job to the best of his ability.

    If part of his contract doesn't stipulate that he has to start at X time, then I don't blame him for that. If he chose to start earlier than the agreed time, I would tip my hat to him. I certainly wouldn't be giving my employer my free time for nothing.

    I guess I don't really have the romantic notion of "owing" clubs. If the club feels like he "owes" them, then I imagine that would be stipulated in his contract. I don't know what else you'd want me to say.

    Also, I realise that Rocket was being light hearted and that probably didn't come off in my reply.

    Australian arm wrestling champion right there if he wants the title. Talk about leading by example with extra weight sessions.

    A good sign for Webb if he's at least running laps you would think? Surely he wouldn't bother if he was being forced into retirement with his neck injury?

    He's impressive. I'd be keeping out of arm wrestles with him.

    Can you imagine mudguts Stringer rocking up at the start of pre-season and being met with a stare from the cockroach in that sort of nick?

    Barrett's a brave man if he keeps up his schtick.
