Kris Keating and Jaryd Hayne....I like the sounds of that.

* Hayne looks good, has athlete written all over him, built up as well

* I spoke to KK very briefly and he is tickled pink about getting a run on saturday, looked sharp directing the boys around the park this arvo, he's also bulked up.

My mum told me that the eels players will be doing the autograph thing on Friday, but I can't tell you where. Anyone living down that way apparantly it is well advertised on tv & in the local papers (hope that helps).

After looking at the photos I took last night I've come to the conclusion that the colour of training shirts was based on what they were doing this weekend and their status of fitness, the players appeared to have been thrown into 4 groups.

Blue shirts = Cabra
Yellow = Ballina
Pink = limited training, no contact
other= injured

Wade McKinnon = Yellow
Luke Burt = Yellow
Ben Smith = Yellow
Timana = Blue
Junior = Pink
Morris = Other
Timmy = Yellow
Wags = Yellow
Moro = Blue
Hindy = Pink
String = Pink
Pig = Pink [Kind of ironic really]
Caylo = Blue
Reddy = Blue
Williams = pink
Chalk = Yellow
Frog = Yellow
Peto = yellow
Jeremy Smith = Blue
Marcus P = Other [although did run around in a non contact capacity with the boys]
Widdo = Yellow
Chad = Yellow
Henry P = Blue
Mick Vella = Pink
PJ = Blue
Fui = Blue [can't wait to see him in friday night]
Jarryd Hayne = Yellow
Ash Graham = Blue [ looked sharp out there, too]
Kris inu = Blue
Feleti = Blue
Blake Green = Blue
Drew Dalton = yellow
Jack Afa = yellow
Josh Cordoba = Yellow
Adam peek = Yellow
Jim storer = Other
Aaron cannings = Yellow
Kris keating = Yellow
Weller Hauraki = Yellow
Zeb Taia = Yellow
Peter Lewis = Yellow
Brendon Oake = blue
Matt Keating = Yellow
Justin Tsolous = Pink

I think that's it!!

as I walked in the door after a days work the last thing I expected was a phone call from Tyler telling me to drop everything and to Demans sports ground in seven hills as our boys were conducting an open training session. So the first time in my life I followed Tylers orders like a seargent to a junior and headed down there in a flash.

Training session was great but I'll get on to that later on, the team for Ballina straight out of Brians list which he kindly gave me and Tyler is as follows.

1 Wade McKinnon
2 Luke Burt
3 Ben Smith
4 Luke O'Dwyer
5 Matt Peterson
6 Brett Delaney
7 tim Smith
8 Adam Peek
9 Drew Dalton
10 Aaron Cannings
11 Dean Widders
12 Jack Afamasaga
13 Chad Robinson

14 Matt Keating
15 Daniel Wagon
16 Josh Cordoba
17 Peter Lewis

18 Weller Hauraki
19 Zeb Taia
20 Jarryd Hayne
21 Kris Keating

The following players will have a "light run" as Brian calls it on Friday night at Cabramatta.

Timana Tahu
Nathan Cayless
PJ Marsh
Joel Reddy
Henry Perenara
John Williams

and a few others which I couldn't remember sorry...

I thought O'Dwyer wouldn't get much of a go this year due to his impending departure to the GC, but now Smith is also going he doesn't need to think about 'what is best for the team next year'. We won't see players being treated differently if they are leaving in '07, it seems.

I rate O'Dwyer and look forward to seeing him play alot of 1st grade this year.
