He would have been non weight bearing on that foot for about 3 months of this year. You lose a tremendous amount of muscle mass when that happens. It’ll be his strength and explosiveness that’s lacking not his cv fitness

I only know what has been in the different articles about Lee, and they have been few and far between, but it didn't sound like he was not weight bearing except for a week or two after his various operations. It sounded like it was a niggly injury that stopped him training hard, but he was still able to pretty much get around as normal, or in a moon boot at worst. At one stage last season he was very close to being back to full training before it went again.
Maybe you've heard it was worse than that, but all I've heard is that he couldn't do full training.
 
Bit off topic, but our junior base is consolidating and will now be the second biggest regional comp after Penrith.

Special moments fueling the fire in Knight Brodie Jones

"They definitely help you overcome those doubts about whether you belong and are good enough."

Toohey article on Brodie Jones.

Jones says he is working on playing lighter, faster and fitter because the game is going that way.

Says the first pre-season under O'Brien was very tough, and this pre season has been similar so far.

The sort of thing we need to see more of from Young.
He is an obvious target for our kickers.

Not sure I'd be having Braddy wearing the pad (...and Dom) for these drills:oops:...I appreciate they are players and should be able to handle the impacts but I'd be more inclined to have a trainer in the pad under Dom, than risking players buckling a knee/ankle or wearing a big body pivoting over the top on to an NRL player's head/necck in the pre-season? Just my thoughts🤔
 
On the news, Knights have household members caught up in the covid scare and have to isolate.
I assume the boot camp is off for those players - but there was no names or even numbers given on the news, so maybe it's only a few guys.

Club Statement: COVID-19

The nib Newcastle Knights have today undertaken a proactive position by sending all NRL players and football staff for a COVID-19 test, due to current outbreaks in the Newcastle region.

Club statement that doesn't seem to line up with what was on the news, so maybe the news was wrong.
 
They are only casual contacts and therefore only have to isolate until they get a negative result. Which should come through the night of the test.
 
I’m feeling comparatively safe in Sydney’s western suburbs, Newcastle’s COVID free status is long gone now!
 
How many vaxxed and what kind of symptoms are they getting? All this cooler humid weather is spreading it like wildfire.

Most vaxxed and unvaxxed are getting mild symptoms, but the first recorded death from omicron happened in England yesterday.
