“Training the house down”

As above Owen Craigie was often on a vegan diet, and setting 2 alarm clocks to make sure he was ready for his morning 5km run.
Even if he did only eat vegans, to lose weight you need to limit yourself to no more than 2 vegans a week.
Please note that I don't condone the eating of any human.
On the subject of house trainer downers that loved their KFC, Chris Sandow and Rosehill KFC were an after training item for many months.

George Rose was well noted for training the house down, and then eating the downed house
Nobody ever said Rose was training the house down. He was known best for hating training. That said, he always put in on the field which is more than can be said of blokes like Craigie, Taylor and Webb.

How did this phrase even start, it actually makes no sense at all. Unless George rose fell off a treadmill and the tremors knocked it over

Ever noticed how all these big blokes who have epic off seasons and drop 20kg or something mad like that usually end up either totally ineffective or injured once the season starts?
Dave Taylor at the raiders, one of the preseason shots of him he nearly looked like a professional athlete

Remember the Raiders Samoan players at the RLWC gained weight during the tournament, Sticky was filthy about it

Sam Kasiano last year with the Storm. Lost 20kg, ineffective and injured shortly after the season started.

NRL preseason which means you’ll be hearing this line a lot

So far I’ve heard Thurston say Benny Barba has been training the house down. Also read that Bryce Cartwright and Ash Taylor have been training the house down.

Obviously GI has not been training the house down.

Special mention to our first “training the house down” immortal Dave Taylor

Training the house down, then eating it?
