Manfre in first warm-up. Russell present but not in it.
22 out there, so I don’t have to remember what Hurrell looks like without her number on.

EDIT: I see 21. I think Prpic is missing.
Keck and HartAluni are about the same size. Keck may have a little more heft in the legs and arms.
GClarke and AshleyCooper with the defenders. It’s a tall group, with AshleyCooper the shortest (but very strong).
Amber Keck Wilson Ryan with the forwards.
That leaves both Ugle and Barba with the mids.
That’s an experienced group, the same as the premiership team but swap Killer in for Nalder and Dicker in for Nanscawen.
(OK, the latter makes it a reach to say “the same”.)
Spargo rocks up as first training ends.
There’s heavy dew on the ground, and no wind and feeble sun to do anything about it.
Manfre not playing.
Add Prpic back.
LOL, teams broke after the Last Post but before the anthems. Had to come back. The RSL guy thought that was funny, and after the anthems promised it was now over.
The NZ anthem craps all over ours.
Pretty modest crowd here on this de facto long weekend.
Starting bench is Davidge GraceDicker Prpic MBateman and Keck.
Ryan and Chaston our deep forwards.
AshleyCooper back flank.
GClarke first disposal starts a run forward. Ryan almost marks one-armed, and almost doesnt kick it out on the full.
