2011 Training Reports - Discussion

[baanya]

Wondering if there are any sharks supporters who attend/watch the boys training secessions regularly. If so would you consider posting what you are seeing on the training paddock.. any observations or points worth discussing would be greatly appreciated and of interest...there is a huge void during the off season of footy, i think it would be great for everone to stay connected with the team by keeping up to date with how training is?? and it may help reduce the level of off season dribble as some have mentioned..

anyone able to or want to provide or is this a **** idea?

Very good idea, would be good if the club posted some regular video updates on the site.

I recall they did something last year but it was pretty early on in the off season.

I have asked this question many times in various threads, to which i have got no answer. So i take it no one has seen the boys train as yet!

some preseason training is shown on the latest vid on sharks.com.au starring the new hats and A. Kelly.
LOTS of inside balls are thrown haha

Was watching them on Monday morning next to Toyota stadium and they are already doing opposed sessions and ball work against the NSW and Toyota cup side's, which is strange this far out from the start of the season. But it might just be Flanno's plan to keep them interested in a long pre season. They looked sharp although Tim Smith did drop the ball once. No Gallen or Jeremy Smith obviously. Tim Mannah is looking fit and bloody big, Gardner look exceptionally sharp and in 15 minutes made atleast 3 linbreaks and was getting plenty of congratulations from all.

Flanno said in the article they would be doing more game related drills so the games are what he means, I've got a good feeling about next season

I hope so, Gardner certainly looked the goods the other day. They all looked pretty sharp though.

Were they in positions? Did you see tongia?

Didnt notice Tongia actually.

 

[sharks4ever]

could be back in the new year

 

[josh11223344]

I wonder if they will give him the same time as other rep players?

 

[El Coconuto]

He's there.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I doubt it. Gal needs extra time off becuase he carries the team. Smith had a gruelling finals series and also needs time off.

Tongia should get some time off but I think he'll want to start as soon as possible so he can push a claim for one of those wing spots.

 

[El Coconuto]

Again, Ryan is in training camp.
