He looks similar to what he did at Salford but he looked so much different size wise on the pitch. Only time will tell what shape he will be in for the start of the season. He seems to be a player who can fluctuate in size quite quickly.

Someone on twitter said he'd flown right through a pretty rigorous fitness test set by us, it's just a case of him keeping up to standard which should happen with training and playing full time. I'm sure out conditioning and nutrition staff have a plan already set out for him.

Hes lost too much weight for me, he lost weight in his final year at Salford and was no wear near as effective on the field now he's lost even more by the looks of it so how he's going to manage without the weight I don't know?

Wonder if Salford will lose 160kg of weight when they tear up Gareth Cock's contract this week?

, he has dropped a shed load of fat and put on muscle mass so he looks a hell of a lot trimmer but as anyone knows muscle is around 50% denser than fat so takes up less space, you end up being almost as heavy yet don't take up the physical proportions that a fat person does.

If he runs in with the same gusto he's known for then if he's 16-5 stone I'll be happy with that as it means we don't have to spell him as often if he was a fat/overweight 19.5 stone as below. It also means he's less likely to get injured carrying that kind of weight for his size.

It depends what you mean by 'weight'. At 25-35% BF (which he used to be) your slower to accelerate and thus despite weighing more your impact is actually less over a short distance than at 15-20% BF with the same muscle mass.

Your also slower, more prone to injuries and get tired faster.

There's a reason you don't see many players in RL with a body like he used to have.

Just read on the saints board that he made the most metres then any other wigan forward seasons 2006-2009. For 4 full seasons that's some going. He will be one of the best signings of the 2014 season.

I'm pretty happy with this signing. He's got a point to prove and I'd hate to stand in the way. We needed a beast. We got one.

Nice and early. When are they at the England football camp?

training the house down by the looks

Wowzers. Don't even recognise him.

He's the one on the right

Cheers for clarifying. Thought it was the chubby-thighed one legged guy taking the photo for a minute.

He's here

Not worth 70K.

Sorry wrong thread.

Personally, can't wait to see him in action.

Me neither. Hearing he's impressed already at training.

I really hope this signing makes people eat their words.

Welcome to Hull, Feka!

Looks the real deal

I am looking forward to him sticking two fingers upto a lot of people on here.

Let's hope he can still provide impact following his weight loss

He will be 11O kilos when the season starts thats 17st 3lb hes just got trim and turned the fat to muscle.
