Probably most excited about seeing this guy playing for us out of all the signings for some reason
i wasnt thrilled when we got him, never really paid much attention to him and thought he was a bang average hooker that could tackle well

after watching his games at lock, and knowing he is trying to get to the 100kg mark, i am stoked to have him on board

The way he trains is next level no doubt the intensity will lift with him around

Between him and Finucane and some of our own hard trainers (I know Tracey is one, Williams trains hard in the gym at least) there will be a good standard set by some of the players

Listened to a new podcast with SJ where he said that the 'fader' Warriors teams of years gone had far tougher pre-seasons than the Sharks had while he was there. Seems a common story now. Don't see that being the case from here on in though, so really hoping everyone gets on board and the standard lifts

It’s also been mentioned that we do what needs to be done, instead of flogging the players.

Wonder if the Warriors are not doing that, or if we are just slacking

The common story is every player says their new teams preseason is tougher than their old team. Funny how your most recent preseason often feels like the hardest one you've done - more recent, you're older, talks up new club etc

The twist is in this case his new team is also his ooold team so he is throwing that shade before he has even started preseason.

I'm sure the guys who weren't in the rehab group found it plenty hard Shaun.

Most teams start hard an then ease off to work on ball play, shapes, techniques so they don't start to fatigue the players before the season has even begun. Maybe if the Worriers trained so hard all preseason there is a reason they would fade towards then end of the season...

Well our toughest pre season in ages he was in rehab all of it. So hard to comment on that. Also he didn't join us till January the first year he joined us

So
year 1 he joins in January and misses half of it.
year 2 fair enough he found it easy and by all reports it was. Was Morris first pre season to himself and we fired the Head of Performance following that season
year 3 he was in rehab all of it.

And each of those years we did better than Warriors

Also 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015
2014 they did better
We did better in 2013 and 2012
They did better in his debut season 2011

So those hard pre seasons he used to do with them really did the team a lot of favours vs the easier preseasons he did with us since (obviously he doesn't have comparison to what our preseasons were like earlier but unlikely Bomber came in and made things much easier than Flanno was running them)

Hasn't been very complimentary since he left has he...especially after we were the club that gave him a lifeline after his latest employer diched him earlier

Shaun has always been all about Shaun. Good riddance to him.

Yeah I think he took Bombers sacking as a bit of a slap in the face - he would have (fairly rightly) seen himself as one of if not our most important player and we made a personnel decision he actively didn't like.

And then we made it clear he wasn't getting renewed and he went full off us, which there is precedent for having left NZ a year early having been told they wouldn't be extending him.

Shaken off two of the players who need to be heavily managed (SJ and Dugan). Fifita is another. Moylan has his own issues but at least he seems to have been keeping his head down and obviously staying in the good books of decision makers at the club.
