We would also like to see the following players who were unable to trial due to Midlands commitments/injury:
James Thraves, Richard Bosworth, Harry Wells, Tom Roberts and Morgan Robinson.
*These players will be assessed in session one which will be their trial for this group.
As we highlighted before each of the trials we are unable to give feedback to you if you haven’t been selected. Thank you very much for taking time to trial, keep working hard and for those of you young enough to trial again in the future I look forward to seeing you then.
Training for the 17 Group is to be held at Newark RFC from 6.30-9.00pm on the following dates:
Monday – 1st, 8th and 22nd February.
Monday – 1st, 8th and 22nd March.
Attendance is expected at every session unless told otherwise. We plan to have a physio with us so come along even if you are injured. Our physio will then liaise with your club physio and a rehabilitation programme will be put in place.
WHAT TO DO NOW:
1) E-mail me on nathansmith@therfu.com stating that you have seen your name on this list and you will/won’t be accepting the invitation to be involved in the group.
2) Print off the attached “Player Details” document, fill it out carefully and bring it along to the first training session next Monday. DO NOT return this form electronically.
3) Bring suitable kit for outdoor training, carefully labelling any items that are yours! Don’t forget gum shields, padding and inhalers etc.
Congratulations on your selection and we are looking forward to working with you over the next few weeks. From now on we expect you to behave and conduct yourself like a NLD player, being punctual and smart in your appearance, on and off the pitch. In total we have 56 in the squad, 11 more than we wanted but that is a reflection of the quality we saw at trial. Therefore, from the third session onwards we will be making further cuts – don’t be cut for being noticed for the wrong reasons!
Should you wish to contact me for any issues relating to the programme please do so on the e-mail address above or by phone on 07834 156892.
