SBW and Ramadan

[Wizardman]

Regardless of what you think of SBW or Islam, that effort on the park today without food and water was pretty darn exceptional. Surely, he must be taking some sort of nutrients if not eating. How would the Roosters plan for him over that month?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

SBW is a hopeless plodder with or without food in his gut

 

[Danish]

He's allowed to eat before a set time each day and after another (officially sunrise and sunset, but those time s are governed by some islamic calendar, not the actual times). Providing he gets up nice and early he'd be able to take in all the fluids and nutrients he'd need in the morning.

As for the roosters planning around him, besides perhaps reducing his cardio training during day sessions I don't reckon they'd really have to adjust too much for him

You know that it's not a 24 hour a day fast right?

Still a mighty effort but, especially for an athlete.

I wonder how Blake 'Dennis' Ferguson is going with it..

Sorry I don't find watching someone participate in ritualistic brain-washing interesting or inspiring.

Hazem El Masri did it his entire career without fanfare.

We know how much he loves his pub food.

"without fanfare" is about how you'd sum up Haz's entire career

 

[bottle]

El Masri was humble.
He just didn't see the need to constantly remind people that he was.

This.

Please. The guy made 8 tackles.

Dean Whare did more work in that game than SBW.

Let's not mention the 17 hit ups for almost 180m......

 

[Packy]

I went 3 days without shitting once. That was tough going.

 

[Danish]

I wasn't aware also that SBW was writing all these articles about ramadan and fasting.

I guess I am just stupid in thinking that the media are simply more interested in writing stories about the biggest name in the game instead of some plodder winger

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

Who knew SBW did the same thing last year. Not many people but he did.

 

[goodplayer]

ramadam donations. you can drink and eat in day time

Praise SBW sure, but El Masri was no plodder
He was a tremendous athlete and others opinions of SBW or his efforts should not diminish El Masri's achievements

Don't sink to the depths others sink to mate

After all, as you've pointed out SBW is no more singing his own praises as Hezem did

I have the upmost respect for them both as should every Rugby League fan
