Pre-season rig watch -
Body composition of a lot of the younger lads has changed, in a good way. Tom Weaver, Ryan Foran, Seth Nikotemo, and even Jojo + Lofi look to have put some positive KG's on. Maumalo looks lean (apparently topped skinfold testing). Phil Sami looks like he's carrying more weight (the good kind, not his 2020 kind), and even Tino looks bigger than he has previous seasons. I read somewhere that Des wanted Tino to improve on his strength testing so it would be an expected outcome of that. Chris Randall is up 5ish kg as well.
We were a small team in 2023 and quite frankly got bullied physically. We'll see whether any of it translates to the field but there's a noticeable change so far IMO.
