Walsh looks to have put on a bit of size/muscle

I had my little sister going to school, kids making comments to her, her getting upset, coming home and saying she doesn't want to go back to school.

"It was pretty tough to see my little sister get that sort of stuff. She had nothing to do with it. It's a massive learning curve for myself, something I never want to happen again.

It’s good he’s accepting responsibility and willing to change. Hope he can still have fun and not get lost in the spotlight.

- Walsh is going to be only suspended for 2 games rather then 3
- We might be soon 100% vaccinated

It’s interesting to see they said Metcalf would be on more money if he played for the Warriors next year. Normally teams can’t pay a player more than their current contract if they are released early but maybe that’s different when they are switching from a development contract to a top 30 one?

Hope they keep the training pics coming....it helps dull the pain of a long off season! Guys look pretty fit all and all too which is good

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure once a player is released from their contract, another team can pay them whatever they want. IF not, there are always ways to back end, eg pay him more in 2023. Also he's been put up to top 30 for the Sharks this year.

We promoted young Temple Kalepo to top 30 briefly to bump up his value to the Knights presumably, hopefully the Sharks are playing the same game with us.

Boys are looking pretty fit. Katoa looks like he has dropped some weight hopefully it helps him stay injury free next year

Good to see Tohu Harris running around again, Ash looks pretty fit, Pene is a beast.

Sironen seems to be the one guy who has bulked up hard and he did seem to get peeled in contact a bit this year. He runs a nice line though so that bulk may help.
Didnt see Murchie so not sure if thats a sign?

 

[Worried2Death]

What's with all the laughing and smiling, doesn't look like the toughest preseason ever. Browny's got them enjoying it, probably a good sign.

You reckon pre-christmas is the bonding stage and the after xmas is the thrash session? Happy is good!

Good to see them enjoying being back. Ash Taylor looked like he was enjoying it in a pic or 2.
Wonder if there is any army camps planned, something to help build some mental toughness.
Good to have all the boys in one place this off season and not doing the split pre season again, and quite a few doing their 2nd pre season with the club now got to be good for cohesion.

Aaron Pene looks tall and tough
