ATELEA Vea says pre-season training at Saints has been tough – but having all the players back and together is making it easier.
Saints are in their fifth week of preparations for the 2015 campaign and Strength and Conditioning Coach Matt Daniels has been putting them through their paces.
As well as the usual tests and arduous drills, the lads will be enjoying some alternative sessions very soon.
In the past these have included trips to the sand dunes, 6am runs to crossfit centres and much more.
“It’s been tough,” Vea said, “but is it getting harder because I’m getting older? Possibly! The boys are really digging in but it makes it easier when we are all together and going through the pain together.
“You can see the quality in the side though and we’re looking forward to the new season.”
He continued: “I came up North because I enjoyed the atmosphere here and I felt like it could be somewhere I could get the best out of my footy.
“I like to be off the cuff and express myself with how I play as well as adding some excitement and fun too.”
