2023 Pre Season

I think if we miss Moses and look to extend AD he would then come into the captain talk. But IF and that's a big if we get Moses I don't see us extending AD unless he wants to play center
 
Went out today and had a look for the first time of the squad training on the field - Api looked sharp, Good to see Sheens talking to our young guys on the edges from the sideline.

Of course, couldn't really tell how we compare to other sides, but watching them in action was exciting.

Any tips who spine will be.

Douhie dropped off defence and tuned out at times last year. Not captain material with those efforts sorry. For now anyway

Sorry Tony - some players like Brooks, AD, Laurie, Nofo, Ken missing so not much help to you unfortunately. Just good to see the players out there - Api stood out from dummy half as expected. Pole dominant. Tommy looks like he could be playing this year in the centres. Jimmy Gnutlik seems big and fast - it's all only pre-season training but some positive signs.
 
Why would you appoint a captain who has not got a contract , or as yet a certain position in the side ? Offa must be captain, and the other a toss up between Api, and Kiem.
Joffa probably only plays 50 mins and may not start who knows.
Think it will be Api & Brooks
or Api & AD

They have schedules - today on the field 10.30 - 12.30pm but this varies and can be earlier from say 8.00am - 10.30am most likely due to heat.

Pretty sure you can sit in the stand like I did. I don’t think the sessions are closed to the public but could be wrong.

Sorry I can’t be of further help - maybe ring the club and ask might be the best option.
 
Pics that were posted today had alot of AD (5/8) to Laurie (center) footage. Also Laurie outside Papa.

Simpkin also lining up against AD in most pics as 5/8th option also is interesting.

I'm probably completely wrong but I saw it as Doueihi at 7 and Laurie at 6 with Matamua playing lock and Staines sweeping around the back. Brooks wasn't at training as per @Thaiger's mail so maybe Doueihi was filling in. all of this said, it's far too early to be speculating on halves pairings.

Does anyone know how Liam Scolari is going after last year's knee surgery, Anyone seen him at training???

They're playing with more depth in this one image then they have been in the last 3 years combined. Hope they are doing their cardio work...
