Interview on SEN, Joel and Fletch with Nathan Brown.
Nothing to report other than he is recovering from ankle surgery and complaining a tad about having to go back to training before Christmas (Dec 1). Said its a waste of time and coaches should respect the players professionalism that they will maintain their fitness.
The balance of the interview was about cricket and his new Gym at Alexandria.

Coaches can probably respect the professionalism of some of the players but not all of them. What does he do when a third (or whatever) turn up after Christmas in very poor shape and group training is pushed to the right while everyone waits for these laggards to catch up? Issuing fines won't give him back the extra six weeks they could've spent on skills and ballwork.

And you could argue that the ones he trusts to look after themselves could be told to come back in January but those are generally the ones you need at training setting the standard. You're on a lot of money, merkin. Eight weeks leave is enough for you.

Gee I really feel sorry that he has to return to work before Christmas while the rest of us enjoy our Christmas month long holiday

Great news. Ta. I also note that former Eel and very successful Redcliffe Dolphins Coach, Adam Mogg is stepping down after 8 productive years.
