He looks like WWE material to me.

Definitely. One of the most imposing physiques I've seen on an RL player. It's a pity he (apparently) can't play. Would be good to have a real wrecking ball in the outfit.

MoiMoi was nothing till Smith gave him a very limited and specialised role and he built his game from doing that right and adding new skills.
Smith might use him as a 20 minute a game wrecking ball and build his game from there.

The reduction in interchanges certainly isn't going to help the careers of less fit impact players, though.

Didn't we all say the same about Jesse Royal in the years he was here before one B. Smith arrived and turned him into a first grader?

Man, I cant forget about his last game.

He absolutely killed the Tigers.

You think he'd be up for starting front rower next year on that performance alone.

Even after his MOTM Performance against the Tigers, I still dont see him as a First Grader sorry.

No need to apologise. One of us will eventually be proven wrong...hopefully you ;-)

jesse Royal, the pre season photos have Jesse training the house down, leading the pack in training, My tip is he will be a firstgrader.

Please, he played one good game against the Tigers, even Carmont managed a few good games.

Have you got these photos.

Look I wish him all the best and I hope he brings the house down, but I cant see him a first Grader regulary in 2008.

He will be up against Wicks and Fa'oso for a bench spot. I really think Royal could be in there with a chance. Wicks for mine could become everything we hoped Perry would be.

Talking of Perry - that pic in the paper the other day was amazing.
Who would have thought he could rip off 10 kg or more and have a six pack and look like a male model.

Is he down 10?

He is one of the smaller props running around if thats the case.

He was 111 when he left, 101 is very light on.

In fact, he was 13% BF end of last year (despite his undeserved fat label), dropping 10 would have him under 10% BF, almost the same as Gids.....

They fixed him up with the paint, they drew a six pack on him and mae him breathe in!

Trust me, I saw him the other day at Narrabeen for Manly training... nothings changed.

I tend to disagree about Royal. I actually expect him to be one of the stand outs in our pack next year. Smith must have put a rocket up him last year because he went from a no-hoper to a more than capable first grader by the end of the year. If he's continued his improvement over the off season, I can't see why that won't transpire on the field next year.

Just going by the look of him.
I didn't recognise him because even his face is a lot thinner.
Maybe it was all done with makeup and photoshop, but it looked more like Jack Elsegood than Josh Perry.
