Training today starts at 10.00am and further training continues on Friday, Saturday (Christmas get together), next Monday and finishes up a week from today, Wednesday 17th January 2025.

Training resumes on Thursday 8th January - most likely at Gosch’s but that won’t be confirmed until a week or so before.

Training won’t be at Waverley “for a long while yet” according to the Property Manager.

Did we secure the rights to Waverley over Richmond? I didnt realise that was confirmed.

REHAB: Viney Henderson AMW Matthews

PRESENT: May Salem Langford Lindsay Windsor Lever Steele Turner Gawn Kolt Culley CJ Langdon Laurie Melksham Taylor Jefferson Howes Rivers TMac Adams Heath Mihocek Campbell Sharp Fritsch Sparrow L Pickett White Petty K Pickett Chandler Berry Onley Johnson Kentfield

ABSENT: Bowey JVR Mentha

AMW is very close to being 100% He’s been told he will be in full training after Xmas. And he’s delighted.

May was doing 100m fast run throughs while other players were doing various pre-warm ups before the actual training warmups stated at 10am. 

Langford and Langdon running laps as part of rehab. 

As reported on Monday Langford copped a knock at training last week and is in concussion protocols

Not sure what is wrong with Langdon. 

McAdam is doing work with one of the trainers. 

Viney, Matthews & Henderson are handballing with a trainer. 

AMW doing the warm ups with the main group but I am sure he will move back to rehab once the drills commence.

Gawn, Turner Melksham and Campbell all doing run throughs at a slower pace separate to the main group.

We know that Gawn & Turner both have hammy awareness from last Fridays session but don’t know what injury Melk and Campbell have.

Will update what the rehabbers are doing as training progresses. 

Bowser won’t be on the LTI. JT said at this stage they’re hoping to not have to put him on it.

McAdam running laps with Reece Conca. 

Would appreciate any observations about how AJ is performing - rarely mentioned so far, but I see he ran well in the Shuttle. Understandably not a point of conversation here given the pecking order, but curious how he is going amongst the new forward (?) bunch.

I’m not excited by him nor expect him to be a regular but it’s worth noting he was in our forward line/back up ruck during the 2 week period in May that we actually looked like a genuine top 8 side last year.

He has a crack — good depth for sure

Is it possible there's nothing wrong with Langdon and that he's running with Langford as a pacemaker, or just to keep him company?

JVR & Mentha not present today.
