I recently read an article on the baseballer Babe Ruth who always looked fat or at least really chunky. It was stated that he was very fit but had a 'barrel chest' which means that the lower ribs were a similar circumference to the upper ribs - ie no taper. An anatomical oddity. That body shape, it said, provided terrific upper body strength.
If they're not spewing first day, then what are they doing.
I think the athletic body shape convo directed towards Latrell is always a little unfounded.
Again, the guy has been supposedly ‘unfit’ according to plenty on here for 1-4 years now. Yet dominated in Origin and has at times, carried this team on his back.
If people want to say that his 3 different lower body injuries have been because of excess weight, you’re entitled to your opinion.
But looking at him there, that still looks a big frame for those legs to carry around, regardless if he ‘looks’ trimmer (which I also think people are making too big a deal of).
Hopefully he can stay on the park (and that’s as much a suspension hope as it is a heath hope).

Yeah, the characterisation of Ruth has been fairly distorted over the years. On the Mount Rushmore of baseball players, so if he was perceived as ‘unfit’, then so be it. Did a bunch of things next to nobody has done since and seemed perfectly formed to play the game.
maybe that is what the Ref Chris Butler has
Agreed.
Think he is the strongest of all the current nrl FBs.
With that sort of physique however, it means he has to carry extra kgs and as we have seen, sometimes this gets away from him a bit.
That is why I started earlier that he may only have 1 or 2 more years in him for that position...which is one of the most demanding positions in the team.
After that, 5/8 would appear to be the most suitable transition allowing him to still dictate the course of games.
GI also had a big barrel chest and great upper body strength but he did taper....but everyone is different.
