I remember in high school i was in a footy team. We had a few training sessions before the season started, and i remember thinking ''damn, i don't think anyone can beat us''. Turns out everyone did, i don't think we won a game all year. I guess what i'm trying to say is, its not hard to look like world beaters on the training paddock. People forget there are 15 other clubs doing the same thing, looking just as impressive.

Ah the joys of junior RL. I remember playing for Grafton and getting hammered by Yamba 80-4\. At least the one try was a length of the field try set up by an offload from yours truly. We sucked, I quit, the team got a few better players and the same team ended up the best team in the comp a few years later and a few grades up.

And now Lawrence is photoshopping :unamused:
Could it be that all the video work this early,is to see last years games where they went wrong and JT is trying the old SHOCK routine so it doesn't happen next season…
Or he could be trying to embarrass them into a new attitude of professionalism....
Which ever way it goes I hope 2015 is much more enjoyable for the fans and players,we seem to be getting in the right groove just before the Xmas break.....

Video is work is important , it helps players recognize what they are doing right or wrong in certain situations or role plays
It won't help them with attitude , putting your body on the line , getting downright dirty and trying to win every situation you are involved in
We saw that occasionally in 2014 but it went out the window when the chips are down
My Dad made a comment to me many years ago about myself as a footballer
He said the thing he respected in me more than anything else that I always played my best footy in losing football teams
I hope Taylor can say that to many of our players in 2015

No I wasn't Simon I wasn't trying to say that at all but that one was one ticket I wore with pride and the old man wasn't one for giving too many pats on the back
And I bet a lot of other NRL players wish they could be remembered that way

I bet you saw him grow two feet and swell with pride when you told him that Ink :smiley:
And as you say it is strange to be watching video in November
As we have seen in many previous seasons the way and style of footy can change in a heart beat
I am hoping he is using it to work with technique mainly at this stage , but then some people struggle to learn things by watching it and need to learn by actions
JT biggest struggle will be learning his players motivations and what work's with the entire squad either way
If they believe in JT they will follow him to the ends of the earth without fear , if not he will paddling that worn out barb wire canoe up that same old creek without a paddle

Good to see Teddy moving freely. It's early days though for pre-season, they'll ramp it up week by week and I'm sure everyone will be fitter and stronger by February.
