When does Turuva start training?

I know May comes back on the 6th January, I’m guessing the same applies for Luai aswell

Hey all,
Long long long time reader of the forum but first time poster. I was at training today and both Turuva and Luai both trained. Stayed about an hour and a half. They did some ball work before they joined the rest of the boys. Marshall had them doing full contact training after that. Did not see May or Hunt and Doueihi, Klemmer and Twal all did not train but were there. You could really hear Hodgson and Marshall both ripping into anyone making a mistake. Also spoke to Olam last Friday at their training and the guys had him doing 30 meter runs and then 50 meter runs for about 20/25 minutes with 3 second breaks in between set. When he walked past me and asked me if I was ok I laughed and I replied “ yeah mate I’m good but you look like you’re about to throw up”. He’s reply was “ they’re f%#ing making me work for it”.
All in all I’m definitely not an expert but they looked more intense than I’ve seen them train in the past and a few other pundits watching said the same.

Good work Chief.

Keep us in the loop. I would love an excuse to fire Twal and Douhei especially.

Day off. Since the preseason started I go watch them train when I have an RDO as I don’t live too far from the ground.

Brilliant First Post!

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the insights.

Pre-season. Oh the memories. Does anyone miss that part of their playing days? Thought not 🤣

we're at 30 spots currently, but once Miller's situation is resolved and Bateman is moved on we'll have approximately $800k in the cap. Sione will take up approx $150-200k of that and a possible Galvin upgrade will likely cost another $200k.

leaves us with around $400k to spend on a backrower, which the club has apparently prioritised. we'll probably have to look at someone who's off contract end of year and is looking for an opportunity. Dylan Egan, Harrison Hassett, Brodie Jones, Ativalu Lisati and Simi Sasagi all fit the bill.

We are at 30 spots, that includes Millers dismissal..we lose that case we are at 31.
