Lockers (not sure what year) came back for the GF and started on the bench.

Not a GF, but ironically Havard was brought back for the quarter final of the cup Vs Wire & won the MOM.

He looks in great shape from the pics I've seen so far. I thought he went really well at the back end of last season and the fact that he's come back in such good shape suggests the penny has dropped with him. He certainly offers us something different and, if his attitude stays right, is worthy of his spot in the team. He's effectively playing for a new contract as I'm convinced it was his late season form that saved him from being let go. Hopefully that will be enough to keep his mind focused.

I used to see him last season at Total Fitness so its clear that he was putting in extra sessions than with the team at Robin Park.

I think the fact that Mago is there at all is good to see when Ellis, Field, French etc are still away. Would imagine it was a prerequisite of his contract extension.

I am not too sure on that one.

It could get a bit messy if that was the case.

Can you really imagine the club stipulating that?

Contractually they will be obliged to start pre season as when the club deems. There will then be individual agreements on top of that.

I don't think my post was clear - I meant the club may have stipulated that Mago needs to return early for pre season.
