Delilah , also spelled Dalila, in the Old Testament, the central figure of Samson’s last love story (Judges 16). She was a Philistine who, bribed to entrap Samson , coaxed him into revealing that the secret of his strength was his long hair, whereupon she took advantage of his confidence to betray him to his enemies.
Remember who was cutting his hair during the Covid break?
I paid close attention to Joe today. The buoyant mood he displayed last time I saw him was replaced today with a sense of grim determination. He was in constant consultation with his fitness advisor and appeared meticulous in timing his running which was at about three quarter pace, followed by some jogging and walking in between.
The bouts of running were also broken up by some kicking - field and goal - generally of a short to mid range. I thought his kicking action looked a bit stiff but he seemed to complete it without suffering any ill effects.
It appears to me that Joe is carefully following a very specific recovery programme with diligence and is making short improvements rather than big strides.
My guess is that he is still many weeks away from returning but of course I don’t really know.
