Hi Guys,
I went down to the Force training session today. The guys ran through a fair few fitness drills and then some simulated play. There was a fair bit of enthusiasm amongst the squad. The were a couple of notably absences. Our full season Wallabies Sharpie, McCalman and Pocock weren't there. Ma'afu, Cowan and Hodgson were though. Pretty sure I didn't see Nathan Charles there. Or Cameron Shepherd. Perhaps they are injured. Wykes was there but didn't train due to what looked like an ankle injury. One of Willie Ripia's legs had a fair bit of strapping on it. I am pretty sure I didn't see K-Bomb or Gene Fairbanks either. With a fair few new faces that I don't recognise from a distance it was sometimes hard to tell. Ma'afu needs to fitten up.
In answer to Kyle's progress: He was at training and looked pretty sharp. He played at first receiver in some of the play simulation drills. His long passing left and right looked particularly good and there didn't appear to be any shoulder problems. He didn't hesitate to take the ball into contact in the drills. Fingers crossed he'll get some game time this year.
