I guess this thread was appropriately named after all.
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...-blues-in-origin/story-e6frexv9-1226360652010GREG Inglis has hit out at speculation about his perceived weight problems, revealing he is back to the fitness levels that helped him win the 2007 Clive Churchill Medal at the Melbourne Storm.
But as the images of Inglis in camp prove, the Maroons ace is lean and mean and ready to terrorise the Blues in Origin I at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
Under Souths coach Michael Maguire's new regime at Redfern this season, Inglis has trimmed down to 105kg, his lightest since the 2007 grand final, when he scored two tries to spearhead the Storm's 34-8 premiership defeat of Manly.
Inglis said finding stability in Sydney with wife Sally has helped with his diet and conditioning.
"My weight was probably a little higher when I got to Souths, but I had a few injuries and there was a while where I was living in Melbourne on my own without my partner," Inglis said.
"I can't fault Greg ... he is playing extraordinary football for Souths," Meninga said. "He is only 25, he's fitter than he's ever been, he's more professional than he's ever been."
So Souths is where peoples careers go to die huh?

And I understand the IQ levels among the regulars in this thread ain't too high. So I know too many words ain't easy for ya. So how about a picture:
One of the best players of the modern era is in career best form 18 months into his Souths career. One of the best players of the modern era is planning to extend his contract at Souths to effectively make him a Rabbitoh for life. GI is a lean mean fighting machine right now.
He's just 25. The Storm had the boy, were getting the man. He's just 25 and is on the verge of breaking all time origin records.
By the time he is done he will have the record for the most origin tries (by a mile considering he's going to break it at 25) and the most combined origin and test tries. And he'll be at least a dual clive churchill medallist.
Yeah but Souths is where careers go to die...:sarcasm:
GREG Inglis has hit out at speculation about his perceived weight problems, revealing he is back to the fitness levels that helped him win the 2007 Clive Churchill Medal at the Melbourne Storm.
The in-form Queensland centre endured an injury-plagued 2011 season and, at his lowest ebb, was accused of being a lazy trainer amid claims his playing weight had ballooned to as much as 120kg.
But as the images of Inglis in camp prove, the Maroons ace is lean and mean and ready to terrorise the Blues in Origin I at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
Under Souths coach Michael Maguire's new regime at Redfern this season, Inglis has trimmed down to 105kg, his lightest since the 2007 grand final, when he scored two tries to spearhead the Storm's 34-8 premiership defeat of Manly.
The former Storm flyer admits he was carrying a few excess kilos when he arrived at Souths last season, but has shed 6kg in the past 12 months to reveal a trim and taut physique.
"That was ridiculous that I was (120kg) ... that's the size of (Maroons teammate) Dave Taylor ," Inglis said with a laugh. "At my highest I got up to 110kg or 111kg and when I was coming back from injury, I probably was playing overweight.
"There's always going to be critics, but I've blocked that out."
Inglis said finding stability in Sydney with wife Sally has helped with his diet and conditioning.
"My weight was probably a little higher when I got to Souths, but I had a few injuries and there was a while where I was living in Melbourne on my own without my partner," Inglis said.
"I haven't lost too much weight to be honest, probably two kilos since the end of last year. But I have a bit more order now and my diet is looked after a bit more. I definitely feel lighter going into this game and I'm moving across the ground better."
That's a scary proposition for the Blues, with Inglis just one try shy of eclipsing former Maroons utility back Dale Shearer as the greatest tryscorer in State of Origin's 32-year history.
The Maroons are intensifying preparations for the series opener, arriving in the coastal Victorian town of Torquay yesterday afternoon for a weekend camp. When the Maroons entered camp on Monday night, Mal Meninga spoke to Inglis about maintaining the rage and the coach says he has rarely seen the giant centre so content in football and life.
"I can't fault Greg ... he is playing extraordinary football for Souths," Meninga said. "He is only 25, he's fitter than he's ever been, he's more professional than he's ever been."
A lot of players get Tattoos after they win grand finals. Tattoo removal is bloody painful.Is that a premiers tattoo on his chest? lol
Trust Bunniesman to find a photo of Inglis with his shirt off.
I'm certainly not, just a few people on LU like to say I am because of their own fantasies.Is Bunniesman gay?
You certainly are a dumb cutie. I'll repeat it for you one last time... SSRLFC does not market that picture and in any case it's one dating back to 2005 (pre Crowe era).
Appin's an occasional weekend ride pit stop, so I suggest you send it closer to home... care of the MU Surf shop at Maroubra.So which cardboard box/park bench in Appin should I send your "personal invitation" to ?
"Dear Nemmiewinks,
feel free to come and see me at Saints Leagues Club on Sunday.
Oh and please have a wash and acquire a pair of matching laced shoes, clean trousers and shirt otherwise you will not be allowed in.
BTW LOL@5(c)uff$
regards
Juan."
Of course if you really wanted to do anything more than bignote you could actually PM me, after all it seems that it is you that wants to discuss something with me.
Regardless of whether you have anything more than a big whiney mouth or not, I (like most) will continue to LOL@5(c)uff$ for as long as the Blackcourt Phonies continue to play their home games at Homeless Stadium whilst claiming to somehow be the Pride of anything when the reality is that they are just an ongoing embarrassment.
Yeah what a shame you're such a maggot brain, juanf**ktard or you may have realised that you need to request to be on my contact list first, you spineless worm...I tried to PM Nemmie again but got this message.
What a shame.
Your team are such pathetic softcocks that they took the easy way out, merged with another club and now only have 1 premiership.That or your team has been so pathetic that thousands of people from all walks of life feel the need to laugh at your club on a public forum.
I'll defer to your judgement, as you clearly have an MBA... Master of Brainless Administration.in which case, this is an even bigger lol@souffs than if the club marketed it...
why is that?
well, if memorabilia is produced and marketed by a third party, then effectively "the market" determines what memorabilia is produced & sold (refer to the laws supply & demand if you are confused..)
which means that if the market chooses to make premiership memorabila for all other clubs, but chooses to make only a charity sheild memorabila piece for souffs, it means that the wider market also has no faith in the rabbits to win anything...
and please. lets not get into the whole "pre-crowe" argument about merchandise.... afterall, he's the one who produced & sold the book of fueds... (last seen being flogged off for $4.95 on the rabbitohs website..)
Appin's an occasional weekend ride pit stop, so I suggest you send it closer to home... care of the MU Surf shop at Maroubra.
Happy to meet down the far end of beach where the surf's a bit calmer for nippers of your class...
but there's still a small rip that'll get "Eric the Eels" like you into strife, so you might want to bring one these with you juanf**ktard...
Oh... and have one of these on standby...
Yeah what a shame you're such a maggot brain, juanf**ktard or you may have realised that you need to request to be on my contact list first, you spineless worm...
