Yes, about 6 stone each in the next three months would do nicely, as far as I'm concerned.

Check out Lee Briers tweet this morning regarding Sam Davies of the Roosters.

Where’s the influence of Graham Appo when you need him?

And you'll rise high today,

I think Richie Mathers' reply to that tweet is probably more telling - A dig at our recruitment policies of recent times????

He tweeted:-
‘Sam Walker for @sydneyroosters he’s 78kgs in weight and killing it. Just shows size isn’t everything. Bout time we took notice of that in this country instead of always going for the big kid.‘
Richie Mathers replied:-
‘Or paying players marque money that do not deliver. To me a marquee, fills a stadium each week with excitement, kids all have his name on shirt and top and bottom of it delivers trophies or it’s a waste of £300-400k. Give the kids a go.’

Why would anybody be quoting a tweet from Richie Mathers.
But let's face it many of our clubs have been stung

| Most people on here will not remember him, but my dad said that we had a pretty small, flimsy FB called Bret Hodgson, and he seemed to do quite well for us.

He was a super player. He took some very big hits in his final season with us.
Too many hits for his own good.

Absolutely not. Small durable players are a requisite of the modern game. French, Coote, Fages, Ashton and Sam Tomkins in his early days are all capable of getting a good few whacks and getting on with the game. They are the game breakers the game needs. Catalans rough everybody up, Ashton is fine as he is.

I don't think Ashton needs to bulk up particularly, but I think he can bulk up and not lose speed. If memory serves we already added some weight on to him in his first pre season. I'd agree though, if that extra weight slows him down any, he should steer clear.
EDIT: Thought I'd remembered it https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... es-winter/

Good point well made. He had a good career, won a few things and I always thought he was decent for us.
