They travel all over the world, with long lead times before games... or is reading comprehension challenging?

and of course we'll be so flat out that we won't have any lead in time or time to recover after the game.
you are so grasping at straws trying to find something to whinge about but when i read your posts all i see is:

I don't this it's a rule as such ...
it's in their Bargaining Agreement that players are entitled to 8 weeks off before they have to return for pre-season training (10 weeks for veteran players).

I think it's against the rules for the club to mandate them to be at training, but if they turn up whilst the club is doing training they can join in as well.
Ezra is basically doing this voluntarily... great sign from him
1910 indicated that Jensen was basically training all last year through the offseason... I think he was basically using the gym all the time

Aublix Tawha an early smokey for a bench position. he is one of the 6 that have started pre-season training and he's already impressing Madge.
Madge said:
“Aublix is a very good trainer,” Maguire said.
“He is definitely my style of player.
“Aublix rips into training and he is going to add to our middle and our edge.
“He gives us a bit of cover across both those positions on the field.
“He is quite mature actually. He is 26, he has been around, he has travelled overseas and played a bit overseas and when he became available I thought it was a great opportunity with Kobe Hetherington leaving (to join Manly).
“I’m really pleased we have picked him up, Aublix will develop nicely with players like Payne and Patty around him.”

Broncos premiership mentor Michael Maguire has pulled off one of the biggest recruitment coups of his career by signing Storm legend Cameron Smith to join Brisbane’s coaching staff.
The most-capped player in NRL history is in negotiations with Maguire to take on a mentoring role at the Broncos as Brisbane look for a fresh edge in their quest for back-to-back premierships next season.
It is understood Smith joined Maguire at Noosa last week, where Brisbane’s coaching staff and CEO Dave Donaghy gathered to begin planning their title defence in 2026.

9 News saying he will be in a mentoring role for the leadership group.
So a little bit misleading by the article to be flagging him as part of coaching staff, etc.
Interesting pick up though.

Nah he will be working with the more senior players coming through the ranks, he won't be replacing anyone. Quite frankly its a good move, I would love to see him work with our dummy halves if possible.
