His ability to personally abuse others is a disgrace, and whilst hiding behind a username, I'm sure he thinks he is very brave and clever. Have a little bit of bottle lad and state your full name and if you are even braver than that, an address? I'm sure the people you've abused would be more than happy to pay you a visit.

On the subject of this post, why JS come into this? He was out on the town enjoying a drink with his own friends, NOT THE PLAYERS, after all he is a Widnes liad and this is his hometown club and he has every right to go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants.

On the subject on his weight. The lad played professionally for 10 years where I would imagine he trained every day and was fitter than most people will ever be. He has now stopped playing and I'm pretty sure he'll train nowhere near as often as he did. What happens then is weight gain as your body is used to being trained daily and then with no training, your metabolism slows and obviously you put on weight.

I was actually with JS on saturday and he wasn't drinking and doesn't drink BEER. So, there goes the theory of the BEER BELLY. As for fatty, he is a former front rower/back rower and weighs about 17 1/2 stone. If you see that as a fatty then you have a sad little life Soldierboy.'"

Boxers have a similar problem with weight gain when they finish fighting. I used to weight train for years, but when I stopped the weight piled on very quickly. You end up eating the same diet but don't burn it up the same. Plus you're also getting older and your metabolism changes.
