I reckon if we used him in short bursts he could be the impact second rower we've been crying out for. He doesn't suit the grafting game McDermott expects from our starting second row and we could make good use of his offload game against tired bodies.

I think it is very hard to get the right example into players for weight and conditioning, when you only have to look at our conditioner who is preaching to them. Was not as bad as that in his hey day as the best around, until he became complacent with his role.

But Ferres will struggle to lose the weight full stop, as long as he is continually on the pish with certain players.

I have to laugh every time I see our conditioner.
Not exactly one to set a good example is he?

We found another target of someone who has helped bring lots of success to this club to abuse, belittle and slander now?

Such amazing gratitude

I reckon Nigel Wood must have been conditioning Ferres.

You can't always judge a book by it's cover chapylad

Some other examples of overweight porkers that don't set very good examples


Toni Minichiello coach and conditioner of Jess Ennis


Glen Mills coach and conditioner of Usain Bolt


Not sure if either of the above coaches/conditioners proved successful or not?
