Oh **** I just got selected for UTMB. Awesome. You weren't silly enough to apply for the miler were you? I was tempted to register but looking at a few Asian races instead.

Sometimes you have to look at things through the coaches eyes. And look to history for pointers. What odds that Wolf actually starts the year in the 9 jersey because Sticky has transitioned Levi to 6? He’s a footballer after all. Every year we get a left field selection, and he has history of trying...

It looks like hedging bets. Sticky rates Levi, but just in case the previous 120+ below average games really were an indicator of Danny’s ceiling, he can keep Germ Jnr around just in case. Doesn’t rate him enough to give him an extension over Danny with a broken jaw or Starlo with a number of court ...

Also my comments on Puru in this batch weren’t specifically naming him as a hooker, more of a Havili style middle utility with hooking value. Instead with 4 genuine hookers on the books we will roll with a specialty hooker on the bench all year with minimal utility value.

I actually thought Guler played well last year, certainly improved as the year went on. Saulo was fine. I think he cops a bad wrap around here. However, I do agree that Ata should be in the 17 before either of them. Puru, I foresee as a 14, and I'm hoping Trey gets his opportunity. He has more pote...

Xavier Caccioti is a smoky but given our plans to blood some youth he is worth mentioning. Australian schoolboys last year and a hell of a player. He has the skills of a half, speed and a lot of power for his size. EDIT. He will need to add some size to his frame as well. I expect him to play a lot...

They’re keeping the powder dry for Sanders I reckon Whether they land that plane or not, remains to be seen but I don’t think they’re going to bring in another half. Sanders is the half they plan on filling that role. Once they have him officially signed, they'll work on an early release, if they c...

Do we currently even have a halves pairing for cup? At the moment it would be Henderson in the 7 wouldnt it? Promising kid, but that’s one hell of an ask.

My thoughts are simple, and likely very different from Sticky, and also refers to things I see as blunders last year. If you are in a season where you can’t win a comp (like ‘23), then you should be future planning. Going all in in trying to squeeze one last 8th place out of a squad is irrelevant to...

In isolation all of the youth options we have recruited are quality and I like the concept of getting the best youth available. However it does seem to a point that we got caught with our pants down a bit and are being forced to play a lot of inexperienced players all at once and have a ‘rebuild’ ye...

Either of the England halves would have been beautiful.

I just prefer the trails. Love being out in the bush away from crowds. Love that the running is broken up from different terrains. And I think that I'm much less sore on longer distances on trail than road, and it's probably better for my joints. But yes I'll need to pivot to roads for Canberra. Wi...

When your head coach is the self confessed best leader ever, it’s not a conducive environment to self analyse.

Coastalraider

In a comp that runs for 7 odd months, you have no idea of how your season plays out in advance regarding injuries etc - so to plan on peaking late and not taking advantage of gaining maximum points early season is optimistic at best. In most years we have made finals we have been chasing our tails f...

I was given some carbon Bondis to try and picked up a weird calf strain.. I was coming back from an ankle sprain and it was likely related to that, but I’ve been really gun shy ever since. My feelings on carbon shoes are simple - I’m so damn slow it won’t make much of a difference anyway. If I was s...

Always 'training the house down' in the pre-season only to realise once the season starts they need to 'build a fortress' seems counter productive Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk I'm sure next year, all this talk of toughest pre-season ever will translate to something other than 1 and 5?

Honestly that list of from 2012 is laughable in comparison to where the 2023 squad is in thier career. We could factor in our future rep stars and speculate about thier trajectories- Mariota, Mooney, Stewart, Strange, Weekes.... but we don't need to. Because where did that 2012 team finish on the l...

Last time I checked we won more games than we lost and made the finals. It's easy to criticise but we finished higher than teams with much better rosters. You should be happy with that. We beat Souths, Parramatta, Manly and the Cowboys. All supposed elite teams. Whatever happened with Savage is irr...

So could Cotric and Hoppa.

Meanwhile Scott, Jack and Starlo had high profile alcohol related off field concerns and were right as rain.

Ive got no problem with Weekes starting over Strange the value of Weekes for me is this is a talented young man with some skills and speed and who can play two positions that we're light on The last thing we should do is put Strange in before we think he's ready. If Weekes starts the year at fullba...

Yep, Horse did say he wasn’t looking after himself - and while a big part of that is on him, you also have to look at the fact he is a young 20 something and we have a ‘management’ staff to.. you know… manage these things.
