Tuesday

[bigred]

We lost a Sunday twilight Foxtel slot that normally rates well. TV exposure helps promote memberships and awareness of our club.

That brand exposure is our biggest loss of this whole fiasco.

Absolutely.

So there has been no practise match or anything to encourage the fans then?

At that temp it is a day to survive as much as it is to excel.

Yes, exactly! Why play football in the tropics?!!! Brisbane is at least in the sub-tropics. What would any team gain by playing in Mackay, for heavens' sake!

I don't know the answer, but would presume they're attempting to break into NRL territory.

Mackay, Rocky, Townsville are all very strong Rugby League towns, not so much Cairns, where it's probably 50/50 ?? Lot of ex Southerners in Cairns, Port Douglas,etc.

Obviously February, March can be very wet in the tropics, so was certainly a risk playing this time of year.

I like the idea of playing in regional areas but maybe Toowoomba would have been better.
A big town outside Brisbane. NRL teritory but not a monsoon zone.

Worked their proverbial off today in stifling heat at Seaford. Interesting to note at the end of the two hour session two stayed behind for some extra running...Paddy and Dmac. One stayed even longer than all of them for some serious lead up work and continuos sprints........Freeman.

Thanks Tony, the kid seems to of ticked all the boxes off and added a couple of extra
Also great to hear Paddy and Dmac are also putting in the extra hard yards as well.

Thats what champions do.

Apparently they did 12km of running on the soggy surface that day which was taxing. Not as good as game time but still helps make it up a bit.

I thought McKenzie had glandular fever

You may be getting confused with Rice who has it.

No, they both came down with it.

You're both correct...they both had it, but D-Mac's was reported to be less severe.

[tony74]

They both missed about half a dozen sessions. Just a matter of getting miles back in their legs. Same with Goddard. He's still not at the same level as the other boys.

[magnifisaint]

That's a bit of a worry

[shrodes]

Same with Goddard. He's still not at the same level as the other boys.

Is that because missed time due to the sunstroke?
