2014 Pre-season Discussion

[Mr.Craig]

Thought I'd start this thread for any discussions on how the players and club are tracking in the off-season.

I'll start with Isaac Smith winning the 2k time trial ahead of Billy Hartung...

Do you expect Tim O'Brein to play next year MC?

I'm not expecting #23 to get on the field any time soon. He may play 2-3 games if Roughy/Hale get injured or are rested but even then I'd still pick Grimley ahead of him at this point.

I'm hopeful he can play 6-10 games in 2015 if he comes along well.

[Vinny]

Sweeet, thanks.

[Mr.Craig]

Looking forward to seeing Shoey back.

Shoey's guns getting bigger by the day.

Christ he's a unit :o

[Nige]

Far out, I swear he was like half that size last time we saw him on the field.  :o

Woah, he looks like an absolute jet, that is amazing. His biceps are massive! He looks like a yoga teacher though with that hair hahaha. Wouldn't like to play him one on one this year.
