JOHN Harbin has been around too long to be easily pleased.

However, even the experienced Capras coach was delighted with his team’s first training session on Monday night.

“I was very pleased with the roll-up and attitude of the players,” he said.

With 45 players attending and a further four or five unable to make the session, Harbin has good reason to be satisfied.

CENTRAL Queensland’s premier rugby league club is going back to the future as it rebuilds under a new committee headed by businessman Steve McCosker.
