Yes. There is a whiff of fresh, clean air wafting around the club at the moment, so dont write us off Johns...

I tipped the Dragons. Not wishful thinking. I don't engage in that.I think the 2 Couchman's and Stewart can lay a foundation for Cook and the halves to dominate and Rorters backs aren't that good either. Holmes back on his side might be fired up with a point to prove.

i dont think we are any chance ... but if there is improvement in attidude/effort and perhaps a nice try laid on by Reed then the green shoots may be showing.

I think we are a chance, but its that 60-80min period where teams are exhausted and seem to get away from us when we can no longer defend their speed... still gotta be a chance.. for once it would be nice not to lose a player during the game to injury, concussion or the bin.... I mean roosters are good but so are most other teams in the comp.. would be an insane upset though, not getting my hopes up etc.
The other thing is I feel like we rly need the bye period to train with the backline that we have.. val/feagai left with reed and possibly egan and who knows.. like were cobbling together backlines against a team whos trained with theirs for years.

Just saw an interview with Val talking about how Young has put his stamp on team/ training. Highlighting that they are in at 7am and out by 5pm and that coaches are more accessible. Just wondering if anyone knows what a typical day looked like under Flannos reign compared to Young now? Did Flanno not require them to be there all day?

take a look at Val's instas ... Golf seemed to be high on the agenda.

There's a set time to be there under RLPA but players can do extras.
Our former half and captain was a 9 till 4 guy while our former rep winger was 7 till 5 guy.
I used former guys rather tanh current for obvious reason.
The longer hours could be for multiple reasons Deano wanting more, players wanting to impress or just that the CoE is that good they stay longer.
We now have better facilities better equipment, spas, a sauna, a relaxation games room, a kitchen etc
I'd make the most of it especially if I was a young single player.
7a-5p for the cabbage their on isn’t asking too much in my opinion. Like you said, the facilities are there now so take advantage
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the insight as always.
New COE definitely helps having everything in the one place. If I was a young player you’d have to kick me out of there every evening.
