Solomona still needs to lose some weight and get fit. I can't see that happening though as I think he's too lazy to do it.The challenge to that. Is for the person who said it to do a Full days training with him and see if he keeps up

Could Solomona keep up with say Gilmour or Wilkin for a full days training?Solomona has all the skills any Super League player needs and then some. We saw with Wakefield that he can win games by himself, but in two seasons we have only seen glimses of it. He has never looked fit in a conventional sense and if he is carrying injuries then he is becoming more ineffective. If he is prone to putting on weight the answer is simple - stop eating so much!

Don't think stopping eating is a good idea for a RL player to loose weight!! It might be fine for Twiggy or Kate Moss.A RL player should eat well and train it off but if your knees are crocked it's difficult!

Thought Newton shifted a bit for his try which was more than some of the other forwards could do.I thought that Newton was off contract at the end of this season, if that is the case there has n't been any news about an extension to to his contract!Cook surprised me yesterday. I have never rated him previously but he looked ok at Leeds and yesterday.

Ralphie. Yes I know what you mean really!! Its just that I think injuries to players, especially legs means they have difficulty in training to the intensity which turns fat to muscle. It's a problem lots of players get. I'm not sure he's 'lazy', though of course he may be.

Frank Endacott was in good shape though werent he, that good shape being round!Would Sol be as effective and strong near line if he lost loads of weight? Agree he does need to lose a few pounds if anything to try ensure he can last a full game, he should take a leaf out of Lynchys book!Sol obviously wants to be in same shape at Clogger the fitness guru!!!

Sol does look out of shape but hasn't he always???? If he looks out of shape then what about Newton? He was shocking yesterday especially his passing which were so far forward he could have got in Leeds team, Wagga performed much better at hooker when he came on.Young Johnson put in a decent effort but it was between Deacs, Lynch and Finnigan for MOM IMO, as with a few of the other posts, a win is a win but we need to step up again next Monday.

Cant believe Mickster and Damo are so quiet> Not one mention about how Deacon transformed the team and got them moving forward. What has happened to the constant ridicule you were both handing out. We have a perfectly good scrum half, yes a bit of cover would not go amiss but I think your words have been proven unjust once again

Haitch & Blotta ,Please take the Rosecoloured glasses off.Solomona should be ashamed of his fitness this year.For god's sake the guy's a professional rugby player.If he wants a role model he should look no further than "Big Joe".He realised he was overweight but tried hard trained hard in the off season & watched what he was eating.This has prolonged his career by at lease two seasons!! Dont get me started on Tupou.If he wasnt already out of the country I would take he personally to the Airport.Total waste of an overseas spot in the team.Basically his heart's not in it , but then we get told he could make an emergency prop. dont make me laugh!!!
