      The boys should be crowded around a BBQ while the girls all made salad.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Re: Preseason Training 2017

        Just re Caleb Daniel and him being in the rehab group. While I was watching training (from 3.30 onwards), he was completing drills with the main group. Also noticed Fletcher Roberts doing some run thrus at the end. He was training with everyone else beforehand, so not sure why he stayed out completing extra work.

        I was was close to one of the training drills and noted how the drill was modified enough to allow both men and women to get the maximum benefit. I wouldn't have said any drill was particularly stressful however, no doubt due to the extreme heat.

        I had wanted to get pic with our Cup, but couldn't find where one had to go - I checked the Museum to make sure it wasn't there. Can anyone enlighten me on where I should have gone? (Next time.....)

            At the open training session, the Cup was (poorly signposted) at the bottom of the EJ Whitten stand. I assume this was so that people could watch training while they were in line.

              Caleb and Toby McLean were both quite pleased with the joint training session.

                  I'm not sure if this has already been highlighted - but my understanding is that the joint training session was an initiative driven by the (male) players.

                  Good form.

                      It certainly could have been. I only got a brief look and (thought that I had) filled the dots at the end

                        Have been reading great reports on Jong, Dunkley and English.

                          Any word on Lynch, Adams, Campbell, Daniel or C Smith? Williams, Webb, Honeychurch and Dale?

                            Webb is training really well, Dale is a lot bigger than he was last year. Haven't noticed the others but I haven't been to many training sessions.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                              I'm predicting Webb will be playing more this season. Hopefully we see more of Honeychurch in the seniors.
