Richmond’s players will embark on a week-long pre-season camp in North Queensland, starting this Sunday.

The squad will head to Palm Cove and Cairns for a training camp, with heat and humidity to test the players as they finish the first phase of their pre-season.

The trip will be mix of intense training and team bonding, with main training sessions to be held at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns.

Exciting young forward Ben Lennon will miss the camp, as he recovers from a mild case of glandular fever.

Richmond fans can watch the Tigers training at Cazaly’s Stadium, from 9.30am on Wednesday, December 16, and from 8.30am on Friday, December 18.

Tiger fans can keep in touch with the pre-season camp with daily videos and photo galleries, and on social media, using the hashtag #TigerTrainingCamp
