I could easily be wrong - but from memory we did something like this once before and it was a DISASTROUS season. Can't remember who it was or when it was (some years ago now) but I'm sure I remember something like this.

It all depends on what happens in terms of intensity, type and frequency of training in between. Knowing Joey half the time will be spent on rythmic breathing, yoga, pilates, meditation and candle sniffing.

As I say though, I could be wrong

This will really test them as a group and equally individually. I think there will be a lot of tears and definite sweat for sure.
Fully expecting one or two at least to be ushered away from the main group after this .

A few years back a few of us including myself did some endurance events ran by Rat Race which are 25 mile-75 mile adventure or obstacle events and I had a friend of mine who is ex army and SAS who now serves as a counter terrorism police officer do some training together. His level was way above all of us but the 3 day weekends tabbing through hills and mountains in the brecons with a 40kg bergen and additional intensity training pushed me and a few of us until we were sick many times. However the psycoloigical accomplishments of actually breaking through barriers you never thought would be possible made the actual events themselves easy, you simply fell back on your training. I can see why JB wants to do this and not only will they bond they will have to help each other get through the training so it will encourage team work, unity and identify strengths and weaknesses of others and the application of that will transfer into games. Its more than just about physical fitness. If anyone is interested in adventure sports then you should check this out. I'd like to do another in 2022. ratraceevents.co.uk/events/?tx_destination=united-kingdom&tx_price_range=less-than-2k

I think they will do a lot of team bonding exercises .... Trust led and maybe a few low key runs and some obstacle stuff.
I just don't see how so many of these sick notes will be able to join in anything too arduous ... The medical staff there will not take Whining or crying -
Equally given Baldwin can't stay on his feet on grass what chance will he have on a rope swing or high wire ? Same result... flat on his arse, teammates let down !!
Huge wake up call for vast majority of them for sure ....Really hoping some will leave afterwards.

Josh Barrett is using the gym, I'd like to see what he has to offer when he's fully fit.

Hopefully this doesn't have an adverse impact on recruitment
