Off-season training

[RFC_Official]

No excuse. I put on 6kgs in 19 days when I went to Ireland as a 23 yo

How are your guns looking Stig?

Double barrells

Haha, Brent Meister General.

Is there any training on in the next two days? I don't have work, and I am pretty keen to check out the boys at some point over pre season and I probs won't have any more time off till christmas, when there is no training.

Majority of the day today/tomorrow is testing. There will be some light kicking drills at 10am and 2pm apx tomorrow, but it will only be 10-15 blokes each time so don't expect a full session.

Come down by all means if you want.

What do you mean by testing?

What do you mean by testing?

Weight, body fat, reviewing their off-season work, etc.

I popped into Punt Rd today for a flying visit. Caught up with some luminaries. Great vibe in the place. As Daryl Kerrigan would say, "it's the vibe your honour!".

Great vibe.

Didn't drop in some signed rugby jumpers by any chance ???

Stuff of dreams mate, though I'd have Jack as the third tall - let him roam the 50 at will, he's a smart player and reads the ball so well.

I know we have covered this before and you can call him your 3rd tall all you like but Jack is a Coleman Medalist and our best forward who will receive the oppositions best backman. Hes our number 1 tall.

^^
Agree

 

[Dr Awkward]

Astbury also looking a bit bigger.

I actually noticed it in the video interview you put up - he seems to have spent his injured time doing weights for his upper body.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Is that 'The Cont' in a few of those pics? Are we re-rookieinginging him?

Gotta be a big chance to get picked back up.

 

[W. Smithers]

Is anyone 'training the house down' at this early stage

Can i just say, Matty Dea is looking like a beast. That kid really excites me (in a healthy way - not obsessing yet). Really, really hope he comes on next season. Dea, Grimes and Batchelor standing up = Delidio/Houli forward of the ball. Giddy up.

 

[Martin#4]

Really impressed ATM with some of the pictures on the tigers Facebook page, some of the guys look like they've really worked hard over their breaks to put some size on.

In particular grimesy and astbury definitely look bigger. A big surprise was conca, saw a pic today and he looked huge! He seems to have a frame that can put some decent size on. Here's to hoping he can have a bigger prescence as an in and under player

What happened to the light kicking session today?

Agree ,and I would add in Batch, he is gonna be a beast.

Brad Helbig:

Trent Cotchin:

Brett Deledio:

Just a few for ya guys.

 

[RFC_Official]

Brad Helbig was running laps and ran past me at one stage and I did a double take and thought "who was that". He's definitely gotten bigger, and I reckon he's grown a few cm's as well.

 

[delediofan3]

Omg finally brett cut his stupid hair

Reckon along with Griffiths this is the one bloke im really excited about seing this year. Just looks like a tough uncompromising young footballer. Reckon he could surprise a few

 

[Grockadoc]

I was thinking the same myself Stig. I did a double take as well. I was like, "Is that Brad Helbig? Nahhh, can't be. IT IS! Even Conca and Webberley have put on a fair few KG's as well, but by god, Derickx is a monster

 

[captain blood 17]

Batchelor just looks like a unit. Big fan. Annoyed Lids cut the hair, was enjoying the Jesus look. Every year we have a thread debating height and weight, i reckon a few boys may make some acceptable inroads this pre season (and does Lids look like he's actually slimmed down?).
