yeah.
people like Nelson Mandela, MLK, Keith Richards, Dustin Martin,
they come to understand their life isnt their own anymore.
what the *smile* taking caesar?
Probably belongs elsewhere, but has the club lost its media department? Been bugger all coverage over the pre-season.
I don't have a problem with the cross promotion of the woman's team, however it seems the media resources don't have the bandwidth to cover the men's. And I certainly would prefer to watch highlights of training or an intraclub game than a miced-up Jayden Short during the team photo day.

At least Short was funny.
Training is a snorefest.
The lackadaisical trainers are usually the guns. And the hard trainers are usually duds.
Dont you rememeber Pettifier or Ben Holland "burning the track" during the preseason.
Bugger, Match Play today, did my training report but then accidently deleted it and not doing it again
Can’t you just copy it from that guy on big footy?
Lets not be in a hurry for Gilexit ............that will likely lead to Bennyexit from the RFC ........... and I'm not up for that.
2hr 30 min session today culminating in 20 minute 1st half & 15 minute 2nd half MATCHPLAY, (this was the real deal and separates itself from the game simulation drills i have reported on throughout the pre-season).
I'll disregard the regular portion of training as Matchplay trumps what has been covered Ad nauseam throughout.
Teams were set up as:
Mids:
Incumbents: Soldo Prestia Cotch Dusty Marlion Shedda
Hunters; CJ RCD Ross Dow
However you had the best forwards, JR8 Lynch etc lining up on our best defenders Grimes, Astbury etc. It goes without saying that meant the opposing forward line had the lesser forwards vs lesser defenders.
Who stood out:
A lot of the usual suspects : Prestia Dusty Shedda Bachar, (Bachar & Dion really pushing hard with their running, a highlight in itself considering their restricted/managed pre-season)
Soldo running more like a Gizale with menace rather than a lumbering Giraffe, (ok that might be an exaggeration but had it over CJ).
RCD: was really good winning plenty of ball inside and out. Copped a big hit in the 1st half, I think from Soldo?, but got up, played out the game and continued to play well, at one point bringing down Marlion in a tackle who tried to replicate his GF blind turn .
Bakes: a lively little bugger, played well even though I think his is one of the spots up for grabs.
Flashes of brilliance : and they were only flashes today came from Shai & Marlion.
Showed something: Thompson Dow seemed to pick up the game plan well and linked up well.
Balta was the most engaged he has been this pre-season.
Other comments: Stackman was quiet but seemed he may have been managed somewhat as he sat out the shuttles and 150's earlier in the session.
Appear to have come out unscathed from session.
We know the status of Nank and Graham but Fraser Turner also did not take part, seems to be labouring with his running in rehab so not sure what the issue is there.
Other than that a pretty healthy list, as far as the media goes no news is good news at this time of year.
PS: Don't ask me where everyone lined up the magnet board has gone missing.

Thanks again Julius.
Hail to you one more time oh great leader of training reports.
More than happy for the also rans to pump up thier own tyres, a few of them will look very silly unless there is rapid improvement.

At least that’s what Caesar says to the bar wench’s at the Royal

Such great news that RCD is making good progress. We need some young mids coming through. Hopefully sees a a fair bit of senior footy this year.
