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...
Could be something in that. Brownie comes across as the kind of guy who's sit around the hangi pit with the boys rather than doing overs

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.
So, to be fair, could be completely reasonable to feel that way. Maybe it's just me now assuming he's being a bit narky about it, because he's come across that way a lot over the years

Blayke might take one look when preseason starts and give the game away if that’s what another 3-4 season are going to do to him

That shouldn't be the case next year though, should it?
Yep, they've already committed to playing the first chunk of the season there with hopefully an option to return mid season to NZ.

They committed early just so they can sort out the logistics, prepare families, organize more permanent accommodation etc.

Was the right call doing it so early.

Neither article mentioned 'training the house down'

terrible journalism

not convinced isn't fake news

Was talking to a mate of mine just before whose info is always pretty bloody accurate.

McInness had a 4 year offer from the dogs 150k a year more than our offer each year.

Warriors also with a similar deal.

He Sacrificed 600k to sign with us.

No small amount although I guess moving to NZ (or Qld as it actually would have turned out) for him, wife and 3 year old is pretty significant.

Both clubs offer a high chance of being less successful too which also hurts his prospects if he wants to play rep (he was damn close in 2020).

Probably not even moving house or if he is still within same general area. Although I guess if he was Wollongong based Belmore not much further?

I think what would have ultimately swayed him would be the opportunity to play for the greatest club of all time.

Hhaahahaha ha, maybe also a touch of the FU aspect of going to the arch rival. (Maybe the bald one had made overtures as well on the coaching front)
