Training Wednesday 13th

[kosifantutti]

I think Hammer has been on the same chest/shoulders/arms diet that Pou and Owens are on. He's definitely put some decent size on that big frame of his. Still a whole head shorter than Max but that new body shape with his natural aggression will make for some spicy match ups.

This excites me, our forward line needs some muscle and aggression strutting around making the opposition think twice about what space they move into.

I'm not convinced with Caminiti. I think he will have a similar career to Justin Koschitzke. He will tease us without ever becoming an "A" grader. Just like Kosi, he is too clumsy IMHO. I hope I am wrong....

the difference being Kosi was pick 1, and Camniti was preseason, pick 100, what ever we get out of him, is a straight bonus.

Pick 2, and we were lucky he was still available!

Ross is certainly talking about Caminiti in the same breath as Owens, Windhager, Mattaes and Nasiah.

Holds him in high regard, possibly higher than King.

I doubt he has a higher regard for Caminiti

Agree.

I think RTB was very impressed with how Caminiti performed early last season considering where he had come from. He talked about this a few times during last season. Did he even have a pre season? He was always going to struggle in the second half of the year. Reckon he has high expectations from him and that he is part of that future brigade he mentioned.

King is a different story. Hopefully, they complement each other going forward.

On a related note, can King, Membrey, Sharman, Caminiti, Owens and Phillipou all play in the same forward line? Someone has to miss out.

I don't want to be the one that kills Bambi but I reckon Membrey should only play if we are hit by injuries. All the other guys are young and our future and we need them to be playing together as much as possible.

[Yorkeys]

Tim and Missy to have a kick off to decide who starts?

Why may I ask?

As above...

[Yorkeys]

Sidebottom and Pendlebury seem to suggest otherwise. The race is not always to the youth. It takes a village......

[nostalgicsaint]

If Hammer can have the career Kosi did I'll personally be thrilled.

The idea that that would be a poor result is absurd.
