Come on I_S, wheres the training report? :-D


LOL, alright, here we go, they trained like they always do, some drills are just useless and i dont understand why they do them, 1 good full ground drill they did was great, from kick out to goal, Lance IS THE KING, he tells everyone wat to do, and he is always right, lance is the brain of football, no one knows the game like him. Paul Bower is SOFT, im sorry to say coz this site sponsors him, he is weak as piss, when it was time for everyone to do their pushups, he faked it and pretended to stretch, trust me i know how to fake the pushup drill.

Heath Scotland is a superstar, he chased down everyone and everrything, and i think Pagan has a secret cruch on him. Eddie Betts is amazing, 2 or 3 times he spoiled balls he shouldnt have got near. Bentick is a machine, his back is bigger europe. Murphy is Murphy, will be a star, Kennedy cant kick, but he has excuses at this point, Fev is workin his ass off to catch up. Sporn is as big as Kouta, but is over in my opinion. Other than that everyone does what they have to do at this time of the year, oh yeh and lastly, Nick Stevens ran to and from training, which is good to see him really putting in the hard yards, future captain?, maybe, i still think Lance is the best Captain after Kouta, by the way he talks to his team-mates, unlinke anything i have ever seen.

Houla would go close to being the most talented player on our list.. but he has shown very little...
i hope he doesnt hit the club for more big bucks at the end of the year... AGAIN!!.. cos he hasnt deserved it.
Having said that, i believe he will have a huge year this year.

PS Whitnall tells everybody what to do.. and is the brains.. blah blah....i just hope he tells himself to keep his weight from blowing out and to discover a defensive bone in his body.....

When he does will you give him the credit he'd be due?

I find that to be a really strange comment. I have seen him do plenty of things for the good of the game and not for the good of himself looking good.

Noone is saying is doesnt bring others into the okay...

Just he doesnt chase .. and he is yet another who lets his man run off him .. like Kouta.. Campo.. and in the end its like playing 15 against 18 when we dont have the ball... and those big thrashings really start building up then dont they???

How are you meant to use your initiative and make space for yourself if you aren't allowed to leave your man?. I know it isn't defensive to do this but can you really be both?

It's like having a tagging onballer....

You only allowed to do this if you are Fevola or Stevens cause they are the only ones who win us games apparently. :?

It must be so hard for Lance....Ang wasn't slow and had a good leap to fist the ball away....McKay wasn't slow....even going right back to John Ragsy Goold who was a long striding, long kicking flanker/CHB; Lance doesn't compare to any of them.

To me...Lance is a forward and a natural forward; and a potential game winner as distinct from game saver.

Agreed. He is a full forward.

Lacks the burst of speed needed for a leading forward and the body strength for a stay at home forward. He's a forward flanker.

I've always been on the Houla bandwagon. Would be absolutely fabulous if this year is his year. By reading that article, seems as though he's saying if this isn't his year or he doesn't have a good year, he's giving up or something like that.

Agree on the fashion thing. Don't think it was necessary now haha.

Lack of speed and strength didn't really bother him when he was All Australian playing at CHF. Like any forward he needs good delivery, at the moment he gets the worst, same with Fev.
