Yep.

Actually it would be probably good to atleast see who`s developed in training, to see if cuthbo has lost his guts, to see how big fergo has got, see reecey run with a fit knee etc.
If I was a souths fan I would be worried, the one that featured them kept saying " we arent pushing ourselves too hard at the moment because its a long season"
They were all on the bikes having a laugh, training pretty casually. Worrying sign if you ask me.
I hope ricky is flogging our boys guts out, showing those souths fairies how it should be done.

Heat on for desperate Sharks
Heat on for desperate Sharks
By Tyson Otto
January 13, 2010 12:00AM
IT'S 31C on a midsummer morning and holidaymakers are snaking their way to Cronulla's stretch of beaches. Boardies, bikinis, hats and lashings of sunscreen are everywhere - except out on a green square just a drop kick or two from Wanda.
The summer party is well and truly over for Cronulla's footy team as coach Ricky Stuart runs a squad of more than 30 behemoths, bulked up from the off-season, through a series of early-morning drills.
It's the Sharks' first training session of 2010 - a year of redemption for a club that was beset by off-field dramas and an unfathonable run of injuries last season.
The Sharks were pounding the turf on the field alongside Toyota Stadium by 8.15am yesterday. As the sun came out and the mercury soared, the sweat started to flow.
Summer pain for winter gain.
Cronulla have made 22 changes to their first-grade squad - more than any other club in the NRL.
But skipper Trent Barrett believes his new-look Sharks are already training with more cohesion than they experienced throughout their entire turbulent 2009.
"I think [the dramas of 2009] have brought the playing group together," a fit-looking Barrett said.
The Sharks' new recruits, former Manly forward Adam Cuthbertson, ex-Tigers John Morris and Dean Collis and Greg Inglis' 18-year-old cousin Albert Kelly, already look comfortable in the sky blue, white and black.
The major losses from the 2009 player group are forward Ben Ross, halfback Blake Green and utility back Brett Kearney.
"We've bought some players primarily for their attack this year in Dean Collis, Johnny Morris, Albert Kelly and Cuthbo," said Barrett. "They give us a bit more variation around the ruck so hopefully they're going to bring some more points to add to all the good things we did in defence."
While Cuthbertson will play in the second row, Morris and Kelly have both spent time trialling at halfback and coach Stuart - himself a former champion halfback - has not decided who will fill the Sharks' No. 7 jersey come March.
The position will be finalised during the Sharks' pre-season encounters, starting against Manly on February 12.
It's still early days, but a hypothetical Sharks 17 is: Nathan Stapleton, Blake Ferguson, Ben Pomeroy, Dean Collis, Luke Covell, Albert Kelly, Trent Barrett, Luke Douglas, John Morris, Kade Snowden, Anthony Tupou, Adam Cuthbertson, Paul Gallen. Interchange: Broderick Wright, Paul Aiton, Grant Millington, Reece Williams.

I am happy that the spot is up for grabs.
Why should we be just saying OK, Morris & Kelly you guys are new Cronulla Sharks, BUT, you are not deserving a crack at the spot.
We are always so cautious with change (when we have a choice) this is a rebuilding phase.
Image if this kid brings spark to our team, for mine I would be happy to see him used at half, Ricky would make sure he doesnt overplay his' hand.
I must say that team doesnt have any legitimant props off the bench!

Fitness wise, the boys look like they've been working out well over the off season.

Come on Ricky please don't play Morris at half back. Only Sheens was stupid enough to try that! We'll be the laughing stock of the NRL if Morris even wears the number 7 unless there's no other options.
I guess the good thing though is now that we have a NSW Cup side if Porter doesn't make the NRL side he can at least play in NSW Cup, which is better than his previous park footy efforts and means he can still develop as a player and be given another crack when Morris inevitably fails.
If Kelly really is ready to be a run on half and shows more promise than Porter then I have no issues. I still don't want him their round 1 though.
Also very interesting to see how much bigger Fergo is in that picture, and that Kelly looks bigger than Barrett.

I agree.
Very surprised that Porter wasnt mentioned. I wouldnt be surprised if the journalist just 'forgot' about him. The article is mainly focused on the new recruit side of things so it wouldnt have as much punch if it were to say that Kelly is our new bench signing.
If Kelly is good to go then that is great, but I really dont want him to be rushed.
So, does Ricky's revolving door of halfbacks continue to spin?
