.... is very fat.

to me, after seeing him yesterday, has actually lost weight

I thought that as well. He looked like he had lost a fair bit of weight since Salford.

Sat next to him last night and he admitted he needed lots more training. Think he wondered what he had let himself in for when he had to dish the membership forms out. Nice bloke though and wished him well against the giants pack!

You tell him!

He'll lose that weight in no time - how soon he gets match fit though, I'm not sure. Important to remember that until fairly recently, this lad was training in an evironment that would make WTW look like a school PE lesson.

what worries me is that he allowed himself to get this fat. eat less, if you're running around less. i suspect he's not going to get membership of mensa whilst he's here. let's hope that he is focussed and does a cracking job for us whilst he's with us.

Anyone who has played the game knows you can train as much as you want to get fit, but match fitness is a different story.. we get flogged every pre season, but im still fooked after 10 mins in first game...

Bit harsh, we want him to be a good rugby league prop forward nothing else!

yes to be honest you're right, he's not here to be a rocket scientist.

my point really is that i'm worried about the shape he's in, and whilst he's been out he's not been professional enough to look after himself.

there'll be plenty of people on here that have had decent breaks from exercise who haven't got fat, and those are people who don't make their living from being fit. i hope to see him in decent shape soon bashing his way through defences and smashing the opposition to bits in defence. let's all raise a pie to that.

Hey what was Dean Sampson without a bit of timber!

He's always been this size when I've seen him playing for bulldogs so can't see him changing much now

If he carries his weight and plays well then it won't matter. His futness will pick up quick back in a team training environment.

Think positively I'm sure they will get his weight down, after all they did sort out the business of the missing light bulb after your initial complaint, just needs a bit of time really to sort out these unforseen problems, just show a bit of faith and understanding.

actually he looks to have lost some weight on viewing older videos and photos...

LMAO

Its not really an excuse for a Pro player to turn up for work with a wobble on is it.
