So my primary focus, after knowing I was moving into prop, was keeping myself safe. So I talked to the 2nds manager (ex/current if he gets fit again prop) along with another prop at the training session. The entire idea was to basically find out what to do when things went wrong. I figure I can work out what to do when things go right by myself, but when things go wrong, it can get serious.
Now everyone in that front row seemingly has the same worries, so I understand that everyone is going to be looking out for each other, but we’ve all heard the horror stories. They gave me a bit of a breakdown, and we did some controlled going down in one on ones. Nothing will be like the live thing, but still, it feels good to have a better idea.
The training session itself was quite a good one. Got stuck in, and even got a few words of praise from the 1st team coach for giving the 1st team a hard time in the team run. For now, I have no intentions of playing for the 1sts, but I’m happy to give them a bit more of a tough time in the team run, since it’s important they don’t just go into games without having had some competition in training.
