BRISBANE vice-captain Daniel Merrett could not be happier that things are getting "narky'' at Lions training.
Competitive drills pitting the forward line and defenders against each other are causing spirits to run high.
And the full-back said the extra passion on show in the pre-season augered well for the 2013 campaign when Brisbane hopes to improve on its 10 wins from last year.
"At the moment we are all over the forwards, it's good competition,'' Merrett said.
"At times it can get a bit narky and a bit aggressive but that's exactly what you want because you want to drive high standards and it's only going to make us better.
"Where our group is at, we are developing and breeding into the younger guys to be aggressive ... it's perfect.''
This time last year, the long-time defender was swung into the forward line after captain Jonathan Brown suffered his third facial injury in a training mishap and ruckman Matthew Leuenberger was sidelined by an Achilles injury.With former Hawk Jordan Lisle leading the race to be Brown's foil in 2013 ahead of ex-Demon Stefan Martin and a host of rookie recruits, Merrett is glad to return to the backline which has been nicknamed "The Men's Club'' by Brisbane defenders.
"I'm back in the Men's Club ... I feel most comfortable down there but it's always fun kicking a few goals. But I've played there for a majority of my career, I definitely feel that's my best spot,'' he said.
