Parra's pre-season pain

[lingard]

You could count on one hand, the number of minutes that our forwards looked to be dominating last season.
S'pose that would be Morts and Robbos fault as well.

Morts.

Anthony Mitchell looks to have bulked up

:lol: What games were you watching? We were amongst the top teams as far as metres gained went. So was our defence. The main problem was that we couldn't score points.

Well that just a load of crap right there. Our forward pack were the ones that kept us in matches.

150% correct they will be one of best in the NRL

yep I was thinking the same, his arms are huge

 

[natheel]

looking at those pics, Tom Humble has bulked up a bit, Hindy has trimmed down from 2010, so has fui fui, looks like theyre being put through hard yards but all keen to do it and train hard for the greater cause! bring on 2011

IMO they've all bulked up a lot.
I definitely don't remember Burt being that bulk this year.

Webby looks to have lost a fair bit IMO. Good on him.

Also, stupid question, but...Why are some of the blokes wearing a bra?

Early season man boobs?
Don't worry, they'll discard their bras well before Mardi gras.

Ease up on him, probably some puppy fat going round here and there.

I am not 100% sure Eelementary, but I would assume that they have something to do with GPS tracking or the like mate.

I was talking to my wife about these half shirt things and she said the Swans players wear them at training as well. She read that it had something to do with helping with breathing. Keep the chest from moving too much which causes the breath to be stunted or shortened. Not sure how accurate that is though.

Not true. It's purely for support.

Nup they just gather stats based on GPS and HRM (heart rate monitor) data.

I have run those hills in pre season a long time ago and by the fourth go around, they look like they are about 3 - 4 k's high....Fui does look a lot slimmer and Shack looks as fit as I have ever seen him....

Our pack looks the goods for next year, that is for sure...
