Nah mate it's dylan Napa. A very good young prodigy from what I've seen of him. Both he and Evans are the two best prospects in the 20s that we currently have. Makes sense why we didn't splurge big dollars on front rowers this year.

Who is the guy in the cap in the first few pics near Robbo ? Seems to be running the sessions. Didnt look like JT or Fitzy

Kane Evans is just a big human. It's actually scary!!

I saw him in Bondi last week and I can tell you he his hit the weights hard. His upper body looks like it's about to burst.

Gee Mose looks the fittest I can remember seeing !

Has the rep of always killing it in the off season........

Hope so. One thing he really needs to do is lose the angle on his runs and run straight, and hard.

Didnt he miss most of last years pre-season due to shoulder surgery?

I believe he's carried a neck injury for a few seasons now mate. Hopefully that problems been corrected.

People are always critical of big units. They always demand they don't run hard enough or hit hard enough.

What they fail to realize is their job, usually in tight and up the middle, is very very demanding and tough. Mentally as well as physically.

I cringe when is see and hear people call 1st graders soft. Especially forwards.

I bet most of those people who are overly critical of forwards especially haven't had the job of hitting the ball up 20 times a game straight into blokes their own size, one out often, and knowing they are going to get creamed and have to get up quickly play the ball correctly and face the same mission again. Then they have to tackle the same big blokes who have just creamed them.

It truly isn't easy and anyone who has played the role at any level will know exactly what I'm on about.

People have to realize just because you are big doesn't mean your body is any stronger than anyone elses. Being big doesn't make you immune to injury or pain. Shocking but true.

Mose is young for a pig. He is only grasping the mental side of the game IMO. He has suffered neck injuries most of his short 1st grade career so far. MK is in a similar boat. Patience is in order IMO.

Remember the pillow??? It took years and he copped so much shit from our fans now we all want him back.

Even Tamou. Sure he had a great season but just last year he was average. It takes time with a lot of pigs.

The Pillow is still soft IMO, he hits the line & drops, same as Mason started to do as he got worn down over the years, as you say it's a tough gig, but I believe Shillington to be a myth & I don't want him back!

He's not my favorite player either BA, I agree in that I don't really want him back, but I wouldn't call a bloke whose currently a SOO and Aussie rep player soft. I see a lot of The Pillow in MK.

And as for Mason, he's exactly the type of player Mose is. The expectations on those blokes by us fans is unrealistic cos we don't walk in their shoes.

The front row is the toughest gig in footy. It's physically dangerous and mentally damaging, especially at that level.

I respect your opinion though mate.

What I like most about those pictures is that our discipline seems to have improved as has our completion rate. I didn't see ONE dropped ball. I'm liking what Robbo is doing already.
Not much talking going on though. Very quiet. I guess they haven't named a captain yet.
We are gonna win the comp for sure, based on these pictures alone.

Hence why I called him a myth, it's got me stuffed how he's picked for those rep teams, when I'd be hard put to pick him in the Raiders FG! Look I'm with you when you talk about front rowers having the toughest gig, they have nowhere to hide, but just because that's their job doesn't mean they all do it as well as each other or every pig is as tough as each other, every time I have seen Shillo play he has frustrated the hell out of me for such a big bloke, he folds every time he hits the line, that's all I'm saying, anyway at least it's not like he's our problem anymore.
