Pre-season : Wed Dec 11, 2024 11:22 pm  
There is little news about how pre season is going and I get that. We would only be told it is the best pre-season ever!
However, do we know who has turned up? Has the whole squad arrived and been in pre-season from day 1 or are we still in the business of letting overseas players have a holiday and turn up when it suits them like last year.

I'm happy we're not hearing too much. It feels like the focus is on the work this year.

It looks like all players are back now and most have been so for a couple of weeks. Lisone was the one surprisingly who seemed to get a bit longer pre-season rather than say Croft / Miller.

It might be also to do with Phil Daly being on the run with Kev all last week.

Pre Season has been pretty brutal so far apparently and the players are benefitting from it.

I'd rather have a few stories / updates every few weeks than the identikit / cut and paste "players name here" tripe were usually served daily.

As above, this team needs an extremely good professional preseason, no gimmicks, no nonsense.
If that means we don't have any chat coming out then good, shows Weve finally learned something about practising what we preach.

To paraphrase Blake Austin, I'll just be happy if we haven't spent all season practicing short drop outs / kick offs.

Although highlights of Eric Anselme and wishing players happy birthday seems to be par for the course these days.

Re: Pre-season : Thu Dec 12, 2024 1:39 pm  
It was encouraging to hear in Palasia's interview with WYS that the team is the fittest he's played in. How true that is remains to be seen, but at least he's not gone from Broncos GF team (via GCT) to expecting and easy ride here.

One thing I do want to hear more than player interviews is one with BA. Not heard site nor sound from him since the season ended. I do have a suspicion that part of his deal is the Blease does most of the interviews, but like others I am intruiged to hear how pre-season is going.

Wakefield but near to Leeds!

Re: Pre-season : Thu Dec 12, 2024 1:50 pm  
I quite enjoyed seeing the Leeds United players training video and working out in the gym.
It does show a togerthness in the squad and would be happy to see something similar from Leeds Rhinos every now and then.
But at the end of the day we got bombarded with it last season and the team on the pitch looked like they had never set eyes on each other so I get it can be misleading.
