Boomers camp in Canberra
Jacob Holmes was second-last to drop out during the beep test on the first day (fitness tests) of Boomers camps in Canberra.
BA's site has a bit on some of the events of the day:
Rapid repeat vertical leaps, short sprints, timed shuffle drills, skin fold tests and the dreaded beep test were just some of the exercises that the Boomers squad had to undergo.The oldest inclusion, James Harvey, was top dog in the test - more here.
There's also a picture gallery here.
Apparently new coach Brett Brown is taking them through a reasonable amount of video (with a focus on Spurs plays and techniques) as part of the sessions.
From the broader group of players, a team will be selected to play a couple of games in China later this month.
For the 36ers, Scott Ninnis is in attendance taking a specific look at the AIS players on show while Holmes and Brad Hill are aiming for selection.
The full squad is:
Matt BURSTON, Jason CADEE, Rhys CARTER, Michael CEDAR, Peter CRAWFORD, Anthony DRMIC, Cody ELLIS, Oscar FORMAN, Adam GIBSON, Hugh GREENWOOD, Igor HADZIOMEROVIC, James HARVEY, Brad HILL, Nathan HERBERT, Jacob HOLMES, Nathan JAWAI (late arrival), Daniel JOHNSON, Daniel JOYCE, Matthew KNIGHT, Aleks MARIC, Damian MARTIN, Brock MOTUM, Cameron TRAGARDH, Jordan VANDENBERG, Greg VANDERJAGT, Stephen WEIGH, Kerry WILLIAMS.
Staff: Brett BROWN (Head Coach), Andrej LEMANIS (Assistant Coach), Shane HEAL (Assistant Coach), Marty CLARKE (Assistant Coach), Steve EVANS (Physio), Peter HARCOURT (Doctor), Nic MERCER (Manager), Bill BAXTER (Media).
