The band is officially back together as the senior players joined their younger teammates for their first session of the pre-season on Monday.

While the first-to-fourth years have been hard at it for the past three weeks, it was their more experienced teammates' turn to be put through their paces at Darlinghurst's Weigall Oval.

With the likes of Lance Franklin, Heath Grundy and Dan Hannebery on lighter duties, Dane Rampe and alike hit the ground running to impress all watching on during the running blocks before backing it up with a solid performance in the skills sessions.
