Good to hear that defence is a priority. Way too many points conceded last year so hoping we can get some systems working on the edges and tryline.
Indeed and its also interesting to read the he is also implementing structures both in attack and defence and working on systems. I honesty cant remember when this was really mentioned during the Radford tenure and is something that the majority of us have noticed seemed to have been been lacking.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I always thought Radfords biggest problem was that he looked at the game too simplistically. He would talk alot about errors and effort and of course those are important but if you are poorly organised and not communicating well then no amount of effort will make up for that. Yet he rarely if ever talked about that. As a player he was a hard as nails workhorse and that was reflected in his style of coaching, but it meant the more nuanced parts of the game often got forgotten about. Hodgson seems to have a real eye for detail and a good understanding of different styles and systems. That's the biggest improvement I'm expecting to see this year.

Hopefully we get rid of the system of having a winger shoot in at the 2nd man in and leave the winger as the covering fullbacks responsibility when we are defending 10-30 yards from our own line.

Must admit he seems to be elusive as not featured in any of the photos posted so far but read quite a few bits from the club and HDM that said all players are there barring Shaul.

Has he had an injury or a bit of surgery in the off season that means he might be working on his own on rehab rather than running about with the team? It seems unlikely that he would be in full training and not be seen in any pictures.

Connor definitely in preseason judging by Josh Reynolds comments ‘ “Adam Swift has been tearing shreds off me about my clothes – him and Jake Connor have been a dynamic duo ganging up on me, but the new guy has to cop it here and there!’

That's good news, was a little concerned he has in no pictures.
Interesting to see Wynne has been training as a winger, could be a really smart short term move.
