Just three days remain in North’s high-altitude camp, but despite tired legs and aching bodies the players continue to give their all.

Utah University again played host to the Kangaroos on Monday morning (Utah time), as Taylor Garner made a welcome return to skills training.

Coach Brad Scott was a keen observer on the sidelines, with his assistants taking control of the drills in the middle.

Game-plans are put to the test with every match-up hotly contested. Now is the perfect time to make an early impression and North’s ever-increasing depth adds fuel to the fire.

It’s a healthy competition though and the will to improve is clear amongst the group.

News of a gruelling week in Melbourne upon their return does little to quell the players’ motivation. It’s one in, all in and the standards aren’t going to drop now.

Tuesday will see another session at Newpark, while the details of Wednesday’s schedule are being kept close to the chests of North’s conditioning staff; needless to say it will be a tough finish.
