"Tim can really transition run and provide that up and back support. You’ll often see Tim will be the first one back and the first one forward with that huge running power." - Blair Hartley.

Could Taranto play the Lambert role??

Could Taranto play the Lambert role??

Probably could but will see more inside time you'd think. Maybe Graham to play that role

Taranto getting to work at Punt Rd today with an early morning run. Sonsie there too going by the vision.

Taranto's first day as a Tiger on the training track  .

[Tiger Khosh]

Great way to introduce himself winning the 2km time trial on first official day of training. Especially impressive given some of the endurance beasts we have in the team

Didn’t know he was so fit

Out of curiosity I know it was Lambert then daylight but who would be in our top 5? I’m assuming macintosh is up there but struggling to think of others who stand out as endurance beasts

[Tiger Khosh]

On top of kmac I generally see guys like broad, short and Prestia listed at the top of the Telstra tracker stat thing that channel 7 put up during games. A bit different because this is a time trial so combines endurance with speed where as the tracker is just about distance covered.

B Ellis. Lambert, McIntosh was our top 3 for years in that order.  Once Ellis left it was then Lambert and McIntosh. 

Poor KMac must have thought he was a chance with Lamberts's retirement only to cop Taranto now.

Without knowing for sure I'd think that Graham, Broad, Pickett would be up there. Maybe Short too?

Massive gut runner both ways this fella. The GWS fan loved him for that.

Your right, Taranto piped Macka at the post
Good sign and example for the group particularly the new boys

[Tiger Khosh]

It would be cool if the club posted the results of these although I can see why they don’t. Just know the media will use the results against players “came back in bad shape”, “didn’t commit himself over the offseason”, “hasn’t improved his tank”, etc.

Rubbish

Won it easily .. seen the photos in the training thread? Taranto and then daylight .. exciting!

Oh really, surged past him on the home straight per the vision I watched
