THE Frankston Dolphins will undergo a "mini pre-season" before their next game on June 2.

A bye followed by the state game will put the Dolphins' season into recess for three weeks, but players shouldn't expect an easy time of it. Far from it, in fact.

Coach Simon Goosey intends to use the time wisely.

TASMANIA will deliberately risk a thrashing against the powerful VFL at Blundstone Arena on May 26 to blood its young guns for future years of representative football.

After the state squad's first training session at Aurora Stadium last night, coach Adam Sanders said his youth policy was designed for the long haul, with the state set to play representative football every year until at least 2017.

NICK Peters has again come up short in his bid to return for North Ballarat in the VFL.
The Selkirk Roosters were hopeful of regaining Peters, who has been kept on the sidelines by a strained quadricep since the opening round.

He began Wednesday night’s training session before again feeling a niggle.
