I have attended a couple of sessions (so only a limited view) but Christensen has clearly been the most vocal, but Rocky gets around with the a quiet confidence, patting blokes on the back, having what seems like encouraging conversations. Would be surprised if he wasn't in the leadership group based on what I have seen. He is fit, attitude looks good, new coach, new start. Nowhere near saying he should or shouldn't be in the leadership group, only people inside the club know that.

Even if he isn't in the leadership group in an official capacity I would hope he doesn't just switch off. With such a young group we need all the leadership and experience we can get from our older brigade.

Good to hear, I'll hopefully get down to a training session next week.
 
I saw Matty Eagles and Cedric Cox at a shopping centre yesterday.
Matty Eagles is most definately a very big boy, and looking extremely fit.
And Cedric Cox is very small in comparison to Eagles but still had some decent size about him for a young fella. A bit like last year with Schache, looks like he might have a little bit of puppy fat to grow out of. From what i have seen looks like a class prospect and keen to see what he can do in Lions colours.

I think we will see a good year from Tom, if he can stay injury free. He would be one that will be straight into the 2s at the first sign of lack of effort/switching off...something that will be detrimental to any FA offers he may hope to receive.

The inclusion of a fit beams and Rockliff for 20+ games this year will be massive for our improvement and consistency.

If I was Rockliff I'd feel like I have a lot of people who I want to prove wrong.

He'll have a hard time proving our club got it wrong. Probably a better chance of proving the other clubs were wrong in not taking a punt on him.
 
Absolutely stinking this morning very muggy. Boys look all in very good nick, Harris has put on some obvious size. Rocky looking leaner than I have ever seen him. Also think Harwood may have dropped a bit of weight as well looking in top notch.

Keays is starting to look like pop eye, been focusing on those party arms, good for the way he plays I guess had a very nice fend off all through the juniors. Any questions feel free to ask.

Skinner doesn't look like he's had a knee reco at all, looked an absolute machine running laps. Very excited about him and reckon we might see him back a lot earlier than planned.
 
It was like watching Nigel lappin run around the track again.

Close's goal kicking is very very good.

You guys were right about Christensen wouldn't be surprised to see him in the leadership group.

Thought Taylor was a little bit disappointing. Just seemed a bit lethargic all training.

it was kinda hard to spot a rehab group, guys were coming and going seemingly randomly. I only really keep an eye on the main group then the few blokes running laps. Didn't notice bell or shache in the main group but for the most part I believe everyone was there

Good to hear. Thanks for the notes Leemas!

Happy to hear Harwood is looking fit. If he puts 100% into his football this year he could be very handy.

How has Allison looked Leemas and which group is he training with?

The upside with him I think is very high if he can get everything aligned.

I believe he was with the forwards. Really needs to work more on the short 30m kicking. He's a very very big guy and I reckon he'll end up being quite solid once he completely fills out.

Huge leg on him as we all know and very quick. Didn't stand out but yeah those short kicks really need some work.
