The boys look fit

[The better Robbo]

Anyone following the boys on Instagram? They are looking fit and strong. Noticeably Gosiewski seems a lot bigger this year, maybe finally got his normal physique back after his injury. Also Paseka and Olakau-atu look like absolute beasts, they have tree trunks for legs and look 7 ft tall. Foran is already doing ball work so his pec must be ok. Garrick also looks to have gained some muscle.

Looking like plenty of hard work being done - I am hoping there is some focus on preventing knee/ankle issues which seemed to plague us this year.

We got murdered by the 6 again rule. Half the matches we played were over before half time just on the ridiculous possession difference.

I consider the 6 again rule a blight on the game.

So, we have to learn from that or it’s just going to continue !!

It is but it’s not going away so we have to adjust like other teams have !!

That's good news ... on last years physique I had him reserve for Blacktown this year ... fit and aggressive with a bit of muscle I have him competing for the 17, depending on the development of Guacamole and Davies ...

Covid disrupted the normal offseason training last year

The fact we didn’t or couldn’t adapt to it didn’t help either.

It’s called the Silvertails virus. Some on here are absolutely riddled with it.

I think it's understandable because the boys looked fit before last season as well, and the season before that. In fact, we could run the same thread at the start of every year. In the end, it's how you finish a season that really matters.

Some say Brooky is a very heavy track, and suggest there's an uphill curve and a downhill curve, and the surface isn't the best?

That could also be input into the teams injury concerns. I remember Brett Morris giving the ground a serve, and Luke Lewis.

The unkept one had us fading out of games towards the end of matches. Donny is doing a fine job in my opinion. Our defense wasn't great, but that's not his job. Our attack was pretty amazing, and consistent all through the matches.

Yes it is; although, there does seem to be a distinct slimming down of body fat in some players and an increase in muscle on Gosie. I’ve heard the Suli fitness stories before, but he and Olakau’atu look noticeably trimmer.

I will need to see a quote about such and such training the house down before I get too excited.

It would be good to get an injury update on players like Suli, Foran, Jorge and Tom from the club.
Are they on track for Round 1?

"At this stage of their preparation the boys have never looked fitter . . . ."

Just quoting from the websites of all NRL clubs.
