Sea Eagles shaping up well

[Mitch]

Bit of insight from Zorba in relation to how the squad are traveling at training. Unfortunate that Brad Parker has picked up a bit of an injury training after being a standout.

It is the same spiel every offseason

Players are always stronger and fitter than they have ever been and certain players have been training the house down

Blah blah blah

The proof will be in the first few games because if we cannot beat parra and souths then columns like this mean ****

 

[ALinda]

Agree its a good insight and Parker's injury is disappointing. Interesting DCE won the time trial too.

Having said that, its what Zorba didn't say about his observations which were conspicuous by their absence. Conspicuous for me anyway....surely he observed Stewart and Matai missing!

 

[BOZO]

We will be bigger and more mobile
All Players keen to impress as positions are up for grabs
DCE faster and fitter then ever
That will do me
Bring on the NRL season !!!

 

[ManlyTragic]

Don't want to sound negative ......but the half back was our quickest in a 2km time trial?

I think he cover that in the 4th paragraph.

What is so negative about that ?

 

[ManlyTragic]

What is so negative about that ?

I would have expected someone playing or wanting to play 1 to 5 to be faster than the 7 over 2 km ....maybe that's just my experience through

That does not surprise me as DCE is one of the fastest half backs going around

 

[1969]

I'll cop all the spin, happy with a Manly feel good story at this time of the year, thanks Zorba.

I'd be more concerned if DCE was fastest over 100 metres. I have never seen a try scored over 2 kilometres.

I am sure our speed men are quicker than Daly over the sprint distances - I reckon Usain Bolt wouldn't be that fast over 2 kms either.

Lets try to not read too much negativity into things.

Exactly. Hicham has the 1500 world record. He's a very different type of athlete to Usain Bolt.

I don't want to get too negative either but 2 km is less than a 7 min run for a fit person , it's 5 times round the oval, it's not a marathon, I am just saying I would have expected a outside back to win that one.........comfortably!

 

[robbiea]

The current physique of an outside back is a brick sh!thouse these days though !!

Most half backs are as quick as outside backs . Testimony to DCE for leading the way as a good captain should .
Well done DCE !!!

 

[robbiea]

I heard a whisper we are trailing usain bolt. Watch this space.

Usains fart's dont even trail him...

Riveting stuff!

Yep we have pace to burn in the centrs and wingers - not. These positions will be our problem this year

I'd say Walker and Uate are faster than what we've had in the same spots for quite a while.

Walker and Kelly are lightening. Uate is pretty quick last time I checked, then Tom at fullback. We are faster than we have been in many years.
