Well that's certainly good news. I think the thing that separates us from failing miserably and challenging for the 8 is a bit of luck with injuries - Ball/Maxfield are particularly important here.. It's essential that we get a good last year or two out of them!

Great News. Each player has an important role to play in our side this year and if they are at full fitness come Round 1 it can only help us out.

Interesting to read Micky(also mentioned in above article) might finally shake of his injuries and put in a full season, unplauged by niggles(Hes the number plate I chased the most, I just love to watch him in full flight).

thats really good about how jason ball has bulked up and how maxfield and davis are going

Yes, yes it is good news. I agree wholeheartedly. What a wonderful trio they will be.

We'll need Ball the most as his ruck work was much missed and Doyle will be a good backup as he still has his ruck 'L' plates on. Ball was rarely mentioned as a loss and not having played a game last year was a hard spot to cover!

i hope jason ball has a injury free season and plays great football and same with stephen doyle

Is Ball going to be close to being ready or is he long term?
