Nobody cares how long it took him but it stil took him a long time, that’s the point



It was his obviously weary legs and slightly groggy state that made it such a wonderful effort.

Just seen match highlights, Tinny looked like he was running with wellingtons filled with water, a great effort.

He was still quicker than ryan hall is these days

At first I just thought he had bulked up a lot but I have to say Hall just looked fat to me when I saw him close up. Shame but he’s a stone over weight at least and has lost all his agility.

He’s still a threat five yards out but not much else.

Cas fans had a go at him last week, prompting him to to put shirtless photos on social media, no fat on him - just over developed, compensating power for lost pace?

He was pretty much stood opposite me about 10 yards away from me for most of the second half.

He looks to have absolutely packed on the muscle on his upper body in particular.

I was quite shocked to see his shape, more in line with a body builder rather than a rugby player.

No mate you must have been near me but I know fat when I see it, that used to be my excuse!

Sorry it was fat mainly and way more than any winger should have. His legs were so fat I bet he gets chub rub when he runs.

I actually like Hall as a player and a person but I reckon he put pounds on in rehab that he just can’t lose which is a shame.

I thought that, but I'm sure the KR man had already looked behind him and must have seen Arona was there?

Listened to Radio Leeds game highlights. They said HKR player looked at Arona before he passed.

Just been on his Instagram from after the game last week, responding to some of the Cas fans calling him fat.

Put it this way, I wish I was as fat as him!

The weight he is carrying is clearly in my opinion tactical and probably there to mask an issue he has elsewhere ie loss of pace etc.

I know the conditioning coach at KR and he is very very good as his job so I would guess that it is a conscious decision to bulk him.

To be fair at his age it’s not unusual for outside backs to go through this process. Jerry McGillvray at Hudds is the same. With a loss of pace they add the pounds to use them as an extra prop carrying the ball off the line.

Totally bizarre!


Tini seemed to stand with the ball in his hands for five minutes before deciding to run with it!


It was a bit of a stroll to the line, but he got there [ieventually![/i


I thought Lino was going to have to help him over the line in the end!

I think you are being very tactful, he's fat. I get the idea but I'd suggest it's gone way beyond tactical. Let's be right here, he was always big enough to do that roll without adding weight, can't go with you on this one.
