DAY ONE of official pre-season training began on Monday as first-to-fourth-year players reported for duty.
Most clubs that didn't feature in the 2023 finals series were back on the track, with plenty of new faces showing off their new colours for the first time.
Some established stars also returned to lead by example, with many seniors players joining their younger teammates in preparation for the 2024 season.
Check out the action below.
