question for the guys that get to the lower grade games, in your opinion do any of you guys think Cody Ramsey has put on any weight or muscle throughout the season so far.

The general gist is players put on muscle in the off-season, but lose it during the week to week season..

On top of that Cody is still trying to get enough calories kept down to play week to week.. but to his credit I dont think hes missed a game 'yet', but I have a feeling his on field performances might be hiding how tough it is for him to keep turning up....

My suggestion is just forget about him as a first grade option.. if something changes with that in the future, it will be a lovely bonus!

It shows everyone how far we have fallen as a club when Canberra are dirty about losing their recruitment officer to the Roosters and we haven't even got one or if we do have one he is well hidden.
It is amazing how most the other clubs are linked to new players and we don't even here a peep out of ours concerning new players.
As I keep saying we have the worst management in the NRL.

After watching last week's game I was startled by Ramsay's appearance. He looks like he is getting skinnier as the season progresses. If so, it is a real shame. He has the pace, the skills and the heart for NRL but he simply needs to put on weight otherwise I would be extremely worried for him at that level.

I think you're spot on Rev. He is killing them in ressies but gee he looks gassed at times. And, a couple of games ago the opposition got an intercept late in the game and ran about 80 metres to score. Ramsay started to chase but simply couldn't go with him. It was actually Buchanan who showed a good turn of pace to run past Cody and tackle him on the line. Cody's all heart but unfortunately I would be surprised if he ever returns to the NRL.

Having been through a similar ordeal with the bowels ( requiring major surgery back in late 2023 ) a individual usually has problems gaining weight once again - or least to the degree he once did .

With the training regime that he undergoes week in - week out , it would certainly be extremely hard to keep sufficient weight on to allow him to play at the elite level he previously did .The fact that he was able to return to the playing field is nothing short of miraculous , however don’t expect the young man to be the same player he was previously before his medical issues occurred .

I wish the lad all the best for his future however I just hope that he does not overdo it .

Ramsey needs a dedicated trainer to help build up his body in the offf-season.
