I'm not allowed with in 500m of Randall sadly these days, I tried to kidnap him for my missus because she loves guys who can go to any position.

Bit surprised Keenan isn't due back till the new year, Thought he'd be coming back with the other internationals.

Yeah mate kind of poor form from him to be honest, you’d think if you were him you’d be coming back early to make a good impression. I follow him on instagram and it looks like he loves a night out, really hope he’s coming here with the right attitude.

[hungryjacks]

Most likely has to do with him having to play 4 more weeks of footy than the rest of the boys last season and combine that with internationals and you have the recipe for why he is last back

[willhelm]

The RLPA negotiates minimum player leave entitlements. Has nothing to do with Keenan.

[Cowabunga]

Looks like it's only forwards but Lindsey Smith is back at Panthers from the grand final teams. Keenan being able to only come back for 1 and a half months of a pre season is insane considering he was in and out of the Broncos + his injury history seems wild.

They must've changed the rules about forwards in the grand final because everyone else is back, Tino, Mo who both played more games, If anyone can take that amount of time of it should be Foran.

If Tinos at training after how much he's played since debuting and playing pretty much 65+mins a game for us with Aus and origin games, It doesn't make sense from the RLPA a guy who's only played 53 games mostly from the bench gets that long of break coming to a new team.

[Whats Doing]

The clubs can’t force players to come back early but that does not stop players coming back early if they wish to do so.

[Titslover]

Yep, I probably shouldn't have slandered Keenan like that but as WD said I'm sure if the player wanted to come back no one could stop him. You'd think to try impress a new coach and team mates thats the type of work ethic a player should be bringing. And that's exactly what I was thinking Cow, sure he played through the whole finals but hes a bench forward who averaged 40 minutes a game and only played 2 games with Samoa. If Tino and Foz can be there then theres no reason he shouldn't be.

[Titanic]

Unless he has an extenuating situation … let’s see how it pans out.

[willhelm]

We don’t know the entire circumstances. Could be a good reason for it. I’ll judge by results on the field.

[Cowabunga]

I'm not even fussed about him training as much as just go to training and shake hands and kiss babies meeting everyone. Stop hanging out with ****ing Broncos only when you haven't shown face with our team if I'm being very petty... Way to many of those scum live down here now.

Someone who's gone through all those injuries and rehab I trust to come back OK.

BK interview

Not much of interest although he does mention OB's are being made to train and learn to play both sides of the field

Interview with forum favourite Erin Clark

https://www.titans.com.au/news/2023/...er-been-clark/

Mentions Josiah Pahulu as his standout player from pre-season so far

[Cowabunga]

It looks from training footage posted they've put Liu at prop with Randall or Pahulu I'm guessing at 13 with him, Oskar seems to be the other 9 most of the time. I'm a bigger fan of Clark then most but good luck getting a spot back from those two healthy. Lock, Left centre and a bench spot or two depending on Fifita and maybe fullback.

Loved this vid with Jimmy. At 53 secs Kinis movement is insane and some more of guys playing at spots.
