Bacon 2 : Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:35 am  

Despite being junked as a 'pointless' topic by the forum in-crowd, I would like to revive my 'Bacon Inspectors' question. It's not just MR, far from it. I think there is a general preponderance of stockier chaps in the squad, and a consequent lack of speed off the mark.

Sorry it's about Wigan rugby...
and not tattoos, where to drink before the game, or (Lord preserve us) Iestyn Harris's hands.

Apologies also for correct spelling and grammar.

I think if it had sounded less like blatant trolling, you'd have had more chance of keeping it going.

Not saying it is trolling. But it certainly sounded like it.

IMO i think Hock is carrying a bit of timber round the waist but that will soon go as the season goes on. Not saying its a bad thing just think he is carrying a bit to much.

MR, IP are the obvious ones.
Hansen, Fielden, O'Carroll, Pryce..all look weightier

I'm talking stocky,or stockier than before, not necessarily 'fat'.

Didn't think Hock was in that category.
..nor Sam Tomkins...

I like non smoked Danish bacon on toast with brown sauce and maybe a fried egg sometimes.

Whats wrong with being Stockier ??

Did you not see the Great Manly team every single one was Stocky and Fit.
Dont understand what your trying to say but if you go into asda there Bacon 8 pieces is two for one. ( make sure you get the 8 peice one cos the 4 piece packaging looks the same )

Hansen needed to put weight on along with O'Carroll. Fielden doesn't look any different to me. It was in the press pre-season that Coley had put some one to try and gain some more impact. Pryce We've not seen him play for 3 years.

Extra weight doesn't necessarily mean less speed if it's all managed correctly. I'm sure Jonh can bore us, erm I mean enlighten us with the details
