Christmas with Alex McKinnon

What is your favourite thing about Christmas?

Catching up with family.

Best present you have ever received?

A trampoline.

What Christmas traditions do you uphold in your family?

We usually have a big lunch with my family.

What do you have planned for this Christmas and the Christmas break?

Relax! Lunch with my parents and dinner with my girlfriend’s parents.

How are you finding pre-season training?

I am really enjoying it, we have a good crew here now and it is really fun to come to training each morning.

Who have you been most impressed by so far?

All the boys have come back really well, all the forwards are a lot fitter and everyone is a lot stronger in the gym.

What are you most looking forward to for the 2013 season?

Seeing how everyone goes and being more consistent as a team. We have a good group of players’ here now and I am really looking forward to the season.

Why will 2013 be bigger and better than 2012?

Everyone understands Wayne (Bennett) a lot better, when Willie (Mason) came along and after about round 14 or 15 everyone really bought in to what Wayne is all about. We are doing another pre-season under him so everyone should benefit.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
