Player profiles updated (partially)

[Guest]

So taking a look through the top contracted players on the Tigers website, it looks like player weights have been updated. Still a few guys missing photos, but I've noticed a few changes from last year's playing weights…since I like typing, read on...

Forwards:

Alex Twal: Height = 190cm weight = 104kg (2kg down on last year from memory)

Ben Matulino: Height = 193cm weight = 107kg

Chris Lawrence: Height = 188cm weight = 100kg (no change)

Chris McQueen: Height = 189cm weight = 106kg

Elijah Taylor: Height = 190cm (doesn't look it to me) weight = 101kg

Jacob Liddle: Height = 184cm weight = 91kg

JJ Felise: Height = 184cm weight = 105kg (down 6kg)

In the photos to me Brooks appears much lighter than last year….apparently MWZ has lost 8kgs

Would be interested to see how much Benji has lost over the last year. Looks a lot slimmer.

Suli is going to be a if boy when he grows up.

Suli is going to be a if boy when he grows up.

He will indeed, however he's also been hampered by the stress fractures and hasn't got the miles in his legs like the rest of the squad so his fitness levels aren't going to be as high.

 

[fergiefurr]

at the open training session i thought the team as a whole looked trimmer then previous seasons

 

[happy_tiger]

I'm hoping Lolohea has lost a few pounds ….. especially if he is playing fullback

 

[hobbo]

Happy tiger …132 kg's

( up 12 kg's from last sighting )

 

[balmain boy]

Twal sounds like he's put on 1-2kgs, was a bit light last year and was told to bulk up. Gamble's pretty big. Bigger than i thought. I wonder if our backs losing weight is an attempt to help them increase pace?

Glad the Hooth has bulked up, big lad but looked a tad thin last year.

Not sure where Kevvy has lost weight, the bloke looks like a condom full of walnuts, not an ounce of fat on him.

Jesus Packer will hurt some people (legally,) this year.

If players were ranked on physique, Kev would be up there. Bonus points for the hair.

Walnuts haha

Me too. Especially after reading his defensive stats last week. I'm changing my line-up.
