If anyone has checked out the pictures of players in NZ, NOK looks absolutely massive - definitely been spending hours in the gym. Looks to have a massive season in the VFL, might turn a few heads.

Bruce has cut his hair? :shock:

Although it looks like it might be another player.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

20 km Hike
8 km UP hill bike ride- many assisted
then more walking

earning their break evening.

http://www.saints.com.au/news/2016-12-0 ... mt-ruapehu
“Everyone found it tough, some more than others but the camaraderie of the boys to help each other out was awesome, there was a real care there for each other which was awesome to see.”

And just when everyone thought the surprises were over for one day, the high performance department rounded all the players up after the long, slow hill climb and exposed them to a little more punishment for good measure.

“Straight after the bikes, the boys though they were done, but we were told to get into something warm, we couldn’t have any skin showing. We got our long skins on and our jackets on and then started to do another hike,” Armitage said.

While it wasn’t quite a snow day that forced everyone back inside, the weather did come to the players rescue late in the piece, much to the players delight, who rode back down the mountain on the ski lift.

“Fortunately the weather wasn’t great so we could only go to halfway of where we were supposed to go, but it was still minus two up there so it was quite cold. All in all a massive day, non-stop for about 12 hours,” Armitage said.

Nothing reported that wasn't obvious or popular knowledge

It's why they are taken with a grain of salt
