training snaps from today

[Thirteen]

Just me? Didn’t see Napa. He hasn’t been or reps or surgery list.
read anything into it?

In hospital getting treated for vaginal thrush.

[Johnny Tobin]

was really hoping Latrell would get his diet under control, good thing there is 3 months to get into shape before there is meaningful football.

I had to look closely to confirm it was him.

Surely a competition for captioning this pic ..

[Easts75]

Another off season of questioning Latrell's weight.

Strap yourselves in. 3 months to go.

Are they not allowed to make comments ? The fact is a lot of the Indigenous boys do tend to put on more weight than others in the off season. This isn't a racist comment it' just a fact. Im sure he will be good come kick off with the season still 15 weeks away I think ??

[King Salvo]

lol at Robbo playing first receiver.

might be a bad camera angle but Latrell looks bigger than the end of last season.

2 scenarios

1) Robbo has just woken up to the fact we are very skinny on Front Rowers - has decided to make a comeback
2) With his job on the line he has decided to become Captain/Coach and be front and centre at the coal face

Prove it - you’ve put it out there as “fact”, so it should be easy to do it, ay?

Yep. Ask anyone that has come back to pre season with those boys in the squad, see if they agree.

You can’t claim “fact” based upon that wishywashy pretense.

What exactly are you insinuating - that indigenous players are lazy? The hardest-working player in the game, Thurston, is Indigenous.

I remember JWH and Napa stockpiling the kgs in recent offseasons also, and they’re half-Polynesian-half Anglo.

Hang-on, the common thread between Latrell, JWH and Napa is their Anglo heritage - from a sample size of 3, we can extrapolate that it’s in fact yer Anglo/Aussies who ‘tend to put on more weight in the offseason’.

What a load of pish.

Who is this guy?
Is it Keary?

Mate everything is fact here on the Chookpen.

[4 the all in brawl]

[Mickie Lane]

Trent definitely reads the Chookpen up to 5 times a day so he can learn from all the penners how to coach the team. Its almost a unfair advantage he has over all the other coaches.
Im pretty sure King Salvo has Trents number & Trent has his number so they would be talking team tactics all the time.
I think it was Salvo who gave Trent the idea to play an injured Toups off the bench in the semi's.

What are you getting all prickly about? There are plenty of studies that speak to genetic specialisation within isolated populations. That's why Kenyans are better marathon runners, and so on. I think what was being said is that many indigenous players put weight on easier than Caucasians, and are genetically predisposed to it.

[Salvatori Grubber]

And all I said was “prove it”.

i barely even tried and pretty much disproved it, and the onus isn’t on me.

Apparently it’s a “fact” that indigenous RL players put on more weight in the offseason than all others.

Photos 9 and 12? Looks like Latrell has finally worked off that puppy fat around the waist and converted it into a shyte load of upper-body and leg strength. Absolutely no issues with the way in which he has put on weight (it’s nothing like my current ‘bulking up’ regime that involves a lot of flat whites, french toast and sticky sultana scrolls).
