General thoughts
It was a useful exercise for us as a group. We set out in pre-season to keep building and use them as that, not try and peak and show our hand too much. Then it was a good opportunity for the young lads to get out there. They've had a big impact on pre-season and they're building nicely, they're going alright.
They've played together a lot and the environment has accepted them as young blokes but they also have some pull in there. They're confident when they're out there in their playing ability, it's just learning how to play a level up.

He's grown in pre-season, in the past he has been a bit inconsistent with stuff but he's getting better at that with the way he's training and he's getting his rewards out there.
