So in regards to the order of training toughness then….
Roosters
Sharks
Dragons
According to some quoted in the past
Gards
Jaws
Roosters? Are you referring to Burns?
Article says he has played FG for Penrith and Dragons unless he was telepathically linked to Fitz at Easts

No. Was it Jmoz or Flanno Jnr said it when they moved from Sharks to Roosters
“Roosters are more professional and harder preseason” (or similar)

It was Flanno Jr. And the Sharks preseason he called softer was run by his dad.

Yep, JMoz said it too.
After we were nice enough to grant him release he criticised the club from his new place of work.

Pretty much every player asked says their preseason was harder than the last one at their own club.
Should we be upset about all of them too?
I'm convinced players interviewed in March just have the pains of the current most recent preseason more in mind than the pains of one that probably peaked 14 months ago.
Throw in sucking up their new club, or trying to talk up their current season to be better, and what else can you expect.

All of this.. and no players wants to poke the bear with the trainers by saying the new place is a bit easy.
If you were quoted in Monday’s paper guess what Tuesday training is going to be?
That's not what he said though. He was talking about levels of professionalism, quality of training and levels of fitness.
What he was saying was probably correct. I only have a problem with him publicly slagging off his former employer after they gave him a lifeline when his career was seemingly over and then bowed to pressure and let him go to another team, leaving their squad short that season.
And he did his preseason at the Sharks that year anyway. He started the season with the Sharks and then played round 3 for the Roosters.

I didn’t quote him, I spoke in general terms, I feel it’s still a pretty comparable comment though.
Quality of training and fitness in particular - not a big distinction to ask someone about preseason, or a few rounds in.
It’s just players usually get asked specifically about pre season.
Less common you could find other players also spruiking their new clubs professionalism. Not sure if you could find any saying it’s worse.
Yeah, would have been nice if he had bit his tongue, especially given we did him the favour (although had to release someone), whether right or wrong.
I thought that you were referring to my post and was wondering how you could formulate a confident opinion when you didn't seem to know much about it.
Now I realise that you were responding to an earlier post.
The bold is the basis of the internet haha
But no, just generally speaking about it’s very common for players to talk up a current preseason/situation
I was disappointed by JMos comments at the time too. Even more so when we lost Xerri soon after and if that’d happened first we wouldn’t have copped the pressure to release Morris
