Since when was having ball skills and a few injury layoffs an excuse to become a fat ****?

Gareth hock is a forward with ball skills, and had 2 years out from the game, and believe it or not....he didn't become morbidly obese.

Comparing Sols ball Skills to Hocks destroys any argument you had. Also perhaps Hocks inability to use a knife and fork prohibits him from ingesting enough of the finer foods to allow weight gain. Let's not go into Hocks other activities that may promote weight loss.

If Sols biggest crime is the love of too many pies it still makes him ten times the human being Hock is.

No he was a fully fit player capable of running a marathon and hitting the gym, go for a bike ride, swim the channel anything he wanted except play rugby for being a drug user. Unlike Solo who was just injured.

Again with this.

If you are not expending as much energy, you just eat less. Your body has a 'maintanence' level of calories, depending on your weight, bodytype, metabolism. I'd imagine that would be quite alot for solomona considering he's naturally thickset. He must have eaten like a total pig to put on weight like that.

I don't know why people are defending solomona unless you are overweight as well.

Guy's a professional sportsman and he's let himself get llike that, it's a joke.

[Fantastic Mr Catpiss]

You ever hear of a guy called tony rocky horror?

He did indeed. He looked like an Olympic sprinter next to Solomona.

And I seem to recall that fat useless prop scoring against Saints in the last ever Knowsley Rd derby.

Do you think any club wouldn't give their injured players strict diet advice? Do you think if that advice hadn't been heeded that the player concerened would be picked?

Having been in his company within the last 7 days and stood next to the guy, he is anything but fat. I think you have to appreciate the physical make up of someone like Solomona. I am defending him on the basis I reckon you have no grounds to say he has "eaten like a pig". I also reckon he would run rings around you in a fitness test

With some of the things being said on here I have to ask the question. Why is Amos Roberts not the size of solomona?

He had a few very long periods with leg problems. Along with all the surgeons trying to sort out his injuries I would suggest he spent a lot longer not being able to do normal physical activity than solomona.

This goes for every other player who has had a leg problem, Richard Owen for example. What about phil Bentham. Saw him on tv the other day, he looks no worse than before is leg broke.

[Horatio Yed]

Solomona is a naturally big guy anyway and the fact you're comparing backs to forwards just doesn't wash mate.

If Roberts went on a Wigan diet for 2 years he'd still blow over in a heavy wind.

Do ppl mean his offloads when they say his ball skills, cos if they do he is like a poor mans oversized Hock lol.

I have never seen him do anything another player cant do.

Have you ever visited the planet Earth?

You need a brain to be Solomona so he wins hands down.
