whats the news out at smithies LM? most of your blokes hanging around? how are the younger lads looking that played seniors in the second half of 2008?
a spy tells me that the numbers and size of players at plympton pre season have both been pretty significant. they'll be very hard to beat this year.
No major headlines sprinter, a couple in, a couple out. Most of the same playing group, the younger lads are looking good, a bit of filling out happening, hopefully those young fellas can take an extra step this season, some of them were only 16 last year and performed well.
not sure on 16 year olds doing much, as the younger players tend to have more ups and downs then the more older or senior players. had the same problem at plympton whilst i was there, the younger players were outstanding one week, then never got near it the following
No mate, we had about 8 sixteen to 18 year olds that were the catylists for form revival, most of them polled in the association and they never shirked any issues, they are good , hard versatile players that will only get better with the A Grade games that they have under their belt already.
At least 6 of them were within the first ten players written on the teamsheet each week and most of them have been chased hard by clubs from the Barossa, they grew up with us, they play for their jumper and they have some great mentors around the place to look up to.
