Were you tipping we’d only lose by 60 points? If Vlastuin can’t play I hope it’s not long term like nearly every other injury we’ve had this season.
Who is the Tap?Just to add to @caesar 's notes. There was a noticeable change in drills today. 3 or 4 drills that I hadn't seen before. New names on the scoreboard and new structures. All the new drills were focussed on defense, defensive setup, tackling and how to corral the opposition into a bottleneck and then a dump kick. Noticeable to see the senior players (Tom Lynch, Timmeh) coach various players into where to go and how to position. It's interesting to see the players who can see the next option instinctively and those that need an extra second or so and how options get closed down.
And on the injured front Josh and Juddy walked a couple of laps. The Tap and Jack Ross (no moon boot) walked 3 laps (specifically called out by one of the S&C staff) and then went inside. The Tap came back out after 45 mins or so and stated he had completed his cross fit session. He's bulked up a little in the upper body so is definitely doing some stuff.
Ooh and Rhyan has a pretty badly split lip (1 or 2 stitches) and Toby's taking him out for a steak dinner as an apology.
Liam Fawcett, sorry that's been a running joke in a couple of other threads.

My preference would be Kaleb and would also have him in before a Banks recall. Tresize maybe a bit more like for like for Tigga should he be out but i like Kaleb's dash.
I take it Kaleb has increased his training loads since you mentioned he was training weekly (if my memory serves me correctly)
You are correct and Kaleb training pretty much in sync with others now
I'll highlight players that get it and instinctively hit a/the right pass. Dan Rioli, Dion, Tom B are 3 that stood out in seeing the diagonal lead and hitting the pass pretty much instantaneously. Both Jacob's were good as well. Most others had to look up and scan. Note: Some players were only ahead of the ball (Shai, Dusty) so you didn't get to see them try the "relieving" passes.
