"...Green didn't join in main training but carried out a high stepping exercise, hands on hips, under the supervision of a trainer ..."
Second report of this since he started training with us. Its not so unusual with new players I think, the club get a baseline on all aspects of athletic performance to tailor a work program for the pre-season and evaluate it later. Even so I suspect Green is a special case. I think he has arrived at the club a bit out of condition.
Justin Crowe does a good job managing the players conditioning programs imo. ( fingers crossed) the vast majority of players who did their hammies/ quads during the season did not get a proper pre-season.
I would be curious to know how much of it is Green not keeping in shape over break vs Lions lack of fitness/preparation. They struggled (as a team) in terms of fitness last year… so perhaps he might be struggling in general with the step up.
Green hardly trained last year due to his injuries so he’s coming from a fair way back.
"...Green didn't join in main training but carried out a high stepping exercise, hands on hips, under the supervision of a trainer.
This explains why McKenna didn't train. How so you might ask. Well the trainer was actually McKenna and Green was doing his best Michael Flatley impersonation. Hands on hips and high stepping sounds like a bit of Irish dancing to me.
I’m excited to see how fantasia is tracking. Sounds like he can go up another gear this year with his added self belief plus better and more frequent delivery up forward.
