Not sure if anyone caught Clayton Oliver’s interview on Fox News this evening. Doesn’t instil a lot of confidence that he’ll be back next week let alone this week. Unless he is taking the [censored]. “He hasn’t finished a training session yet” 

Was such a strange interview. Clarry was just flat out weird tbh.

yeah idk… Thursday night will tell, I guess.

I definitely feel for Harry. I missed the Sydney Olympics 400m final with the same injury. True story.

It’s still fresh in my memory. I had gone to the bathroom and was running back to the TV to watch the 400m final when I slipped on the marble floor and jammed my foot between the couch and floor, sustaining the dreaded lisfranc ligament injury. I was rolling around the floor in agony while the race was run.

This imagery had me rolling around in laughter, thank you!

For a moment I thought you must be a class athlete. 
Second paragraph soon told me differently. 
Not to dismiss your horrid injury. Hope all is operating as it should now. 

Echo NC in wishing a full recovery has been made in the intervening 23 years!

And pretty rude I have to say.

Don't stop if you don't want to talk. Got soft ball questions too.

And did actually say he hadn't 'got thru' a training session yet.

I think he is over all of the attention about a hamstring. He will be liked a caged animal when he runs out on Saturday

I know media is not his thing blah blah blah but the arrogance of the man spilled over a bit too much here tbh

Just not a good look, Bin.

It didn’t come across as arrogance to me. He seemed uncomfortable and like he doesn’t want to jinx it or discuss it. He also has no media nous at all. He gives weird half answers. It’s how he’s always been.

Obviously you don’t know Clarry. The man has all the media nous of a turkey. I love him but god he is not Shakespeare is he? 
 

He’s not even Harpo Marx.

Happy to love him for how he plays footy rather than for his eloquence in front of a microphone.

Rather just walk on by then. Not like he’s obliged to do it.

Weird.

Weird.

Particularly because he made it sound as it was actually very unlike he would play.

And richo said he almost certainly would in the club injury vid - which I think (hope) was after the training session, but that wasn't clear either.

I don't see that interview as arrogant, rude or whatever....that is just him, awkward and weird plus a hate for the attention. Nothingball.

We’ll that’s it Bin.

Both Goody & Richo have pretty much said he’s good to go, yet Claz himself doesn’t exude a hell of a lot of confidence, does he?

Just taking the [censored]? Yeah, hopefully…

A lot of fugazi going on here. And way too much being made of a nothing interview from a guy who can’t string two coherent words together. 
Train tomorrow. Play Saturday.

I wonder if he’ll fake a hamstring on Saturday night. As for people commenting on his media ability, get a life. I liked it, so much better than the scripted bullsith most players roll out.

Lads, Clarry would've played 3 weeks ago if he had the choice. He's being a dope because that's his character.

The day before his infection he was shirtless, wet, barefoot, covered in grass in a parking lot saying he hopes he can get a game.

For me, this interview and the one earlier in the season are the best interviews I've seen all year.

Reading between the lines, if that is possible with a Clarry interview...

Is there a disconnect between player, the HPT and the coaches/assistant coaches ideas as to what he has to tick off at training vs where each of them (including Clarry hinself) 'thinks' he is at recovery wise.

I get the impression Clarry believes he's been right to go for a while but is being held up by the either the HP process (or head of) and/or one or more of the coaches.  Possibly just the HP dept!

In other words, Clarry believes it's just a training session to get through, which in his eyes is a minor thing with a few easy hurdles, but that he may be blocked by someone (or others) imposing overly severe hurdles (in his eyes).

I get the impression he is skirting around all that.  Trying not to blurt something out along those lines and aware that it would not be a good look to go public with any sort of disunity type issue no matter how miniscule, small or something a little more significant (for him)?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
