      Is that Tuesday the 2nd or Friday the 5th....maybe you can't read a calendar properly . Seems both of us have been mislead by the club.

        I'd be taking the advertised time as a rough guideline only. If you are going to make a big effort to make it to training I'd suggest calling the club to see if they can confirm what's actually happening. I've been caught out a couple of times this year.

              Do teams normally train the day before a match? I haven't noticed this in the past?

                    Went along to training today, as I'm on leave from work. fairly light session as you'd expect, with some kicking practise (field and goal) some work on ruck taps... Was hard to see, but I'm not sure I saw Griff there - could be wrong though.

                    Seeing some of the staff in The Pound, I have to say Ben Graham is one big unit.
                    Will have a look at my pics and upload any that are worth it.

                          They trained today. I didnt stay for the whole session but from what I saw it seemed a fairly light session. Stretches, run throughs, thrusts, passing the ball over distances between 5 to 30 metres and then goal kicking practice from angles and then from the 50 metre arc right in front.

                          Ben Graham took the long distance goal kicking drills and handed out advice on kicking technique. Griff stood next to him and hung on every word. Liam Jones drilled both the long distance shots I saw him take.

                          Libba sr was there and seemed to have a person with a film camera following him about.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
