The boys look fit

[Terry Zarsoff]

"At this stage of their preparation the boys have never looked fitter . . . ."

Just quoting from the websites of all NRL clubs.

Yes, if only they didn’t have to play any games.

Stranger how most of the posts start positive and then gets taken over with negative posts.

We’re a miserable old huddle of curmudgeons but you should see us dancing on the tables after a grand final win.

If you expect the worst you can never be disappointed.

What about the dead and bitter disappointment of success?

I shall be bitterly disappointed when the Sea Eagles win the grand final next year. But I promise to put on a brave face.

Didn't they only just come back. Not sure how they can look bigger and stronger than last year ( actually still this year technically) unless they've been on the roids. ... Just sayin.

Its been a couple months. A lot can change in that time.... just saying.
If you follow them on instagram you'll know that most of them have been non stop training the whole time!

Also if you don’t try, you can’t fail. Win Win.

I’d like to see ‘em at this stage of a long year, long necks in both hands, A teammate racking up an ounce, a 76 bucket of KFC being drizzled down there gullets. And some good ol fashion whoreing going on (all electronic equipment to be left with Donny).. Get the ball rolling 1st Jan.

You can be fit as a fiddle but it won't stop injuries this team needs to avoid major injuries to our key players and there season will be successful with the roster they have

Sheesh, I hope you're not a coach at your kids school!





(I dunno if you have kids, or if they go to school)

Yeah, just some harmless hijinks that young blokes get up to!

Then half an hour later we start lamenting about the inevitable players leaving, bad draw for next year, we’ve peaked, a long year ahead etc

Just wait until Next Week

Just wait until Next Week

You mean #NextWeek

Think that there are plenty of the younger squad members in particular who think that they have a point to prove and to establish or to more establish themselves as capable i st graders and a sense of footy hunger to do better can not be underestimated also . Thought that getting close to a G F in 2019 would have instilled a sense of hunger for 2020 , and it did seem to early until the disasterous injury toll crueled everything

I tend to agree that the players are looking fitter than usual at this time of year re body fat, muscle cut ect...but I tend to think a quote from ET (we are not alone) sums it up.
I have a feeling with the new speed of the game executed in 2020, Most teams will be looking to reduce bodyweight and be more fitting for the touch footy pace in today's game.
The thing I do like, is we now have the pace to match the best now and THIS along with at least matching the fitness dept, will carry us a long way.

Probably close to the mark there . Much more emphasis on quicker recovery and response with the quicker pace and more open play now . So definitely need those specific types of fitness requirements to compete now .

Agreed. However, I’m not sure many had a couple of untapped players who needed to shed weight to unleash their inner beast - we have Suli and Olakau’atu. At least that is my story and I’m sticking to it damn it.
