2018 Pre-Season

Haha, I'm loving the new website too, so much more in depth than the old.

Of course clubs are going to pump things up to try and get the fans excited, I bet people would complain if they didn't. All clubs do it and it's all part of the game we all love.

Pre-Season back to work gallery: https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2018/01/08/back-to-work/

So do the Burgess boys and Gagai arrive/return on Monday?

 

Likewise mate......

A tough long ride......

 

Yeah I think it’ll be our full squad. Only players that might not be there will be injured and post-op guys doing rehab somewhere else or training indoors.

Anyone thinking of heading out next Monday?

 

I would've but I wouldn't make it back in time for work....

 

Whilst we have Gagai we still needed to keep Goodwin.....

We are gonna miss him for sure......

He was like the Nightingale in our side.....

 

Only ones that will be missing will be the 4 young ones in origin camp next monday

 

We need a 1st grade winger and a 1st grade centre and 2 more 1st grade off loading forwards/props to match the top 4 sides .

Shadow...

 

Congrats to Zach Kambos and Zach Maling on their selections in the NSW U16 Pathways Squad. Interesting no recognition in the article for North Sydney Bears Nicholas Russell who was also selected.

Get to know Ky Rodwell: https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2018/01/10/get-to-know-ky-rodwell/

 

I hope Nicholls is better than a Joe Picker kind of player.....

I hope he has more in him than only 40metres a game....

 

Same, I'm hoping he's kind of like the new in form Dave Tyrrell, when Tyrrell had a good game he was great and he did that job in the middle.

 

How good is it to see these boys back and we finally get to see Gags in the mighty Red and Green! They're looking good and Gagai is smashing it already!

Is it just me or does Tom look a wee bit slimmer?

Also when does the squad travel to Canberra?

Nicholls is way better than Tyrrell mate. He makes post contact metres and can stop them in defence.

Big, tough old country boy

 

Enjoy the open training session today my dudes, I want to hear all about it from those of you that go.

 

Likewise, couldn't make it unfortunately..

 

That sucks. Hopefully a lot of guys in here would of and they'll give us some details.

 

I don't know about Nicholls being way better than Tyrrell.

Tyrrell played 158 1st grade games & is a p/ship player.

In 6 seasons Nicholls has played in 28 games;many off the bench!!

 

Didn't say he'd played more games, said he was physically a better player.

Tyrrell averaged about 50m a game over 40 minutes, made little to no metres over the advantage line and leaked post contact metres in defence worse than any other front rower in the sport.

He was a nice guy and I get that people can get blinded by sentiment, but he was a below par front rower.
