That would solve @Sir Chadley ‘s problem with the “beer guys“ brushing past him every 5 minutes
Yeh but he played 38 mins which ain't bad. About 20 more than I thought he would
He’s definitely dropped in form the past 12 months but he has had a lot of injuries. If he can stay injury free for the rest of this season I reckon he can get back to his best.

I thought he had a solid return last night.

Yep solid and not bad……I agree
He should be better than that in my book.
When he first came in he was a gun.
Yes there has been injuries but he has been overweight for years now.
And no way you can’t maintain a decent weight as a professional athlete with issues to your foot etc.
Just my thoughts…..I would love to see him playing at his potential

Speaks to his discipline that (I believe) the no drinking this year made it like a few weeks into the season.

Exactly
People seem to forget this way too often. He’s not properly training through the week so his match fitness will come.
He doesn’t need to do massive minutes anyway

I don't think people are forgetting about his toe or other injuries. A toe injury is no excuse for being overweight. There would be literally hundreds of different ways he can train that don't flare up his toe or just stop putting as much food in his mouth.
Agree match fitness will come but carrying around additional weight is only going to make the foot worse.

I must admit I am a big guy so it is hard for me to notice, but I didn't think Toby looked fat or overweight at all.
Yeh it's like trying to tell if someone has a small penis...it's all relative!

I took this during their warmup, you guys be the judge, he seems fine to me as far as his weight goes.

I thought he was decent
He has been a workhorse for years so it's not like he isn't suddenly capable of being that again
He's 28 now, metabolism slowing down a bit perhaps and filling out, a challenge for everyone athlete or not.
If training/coaching staff are concerned I am sure there will be a plan to address it.
His current Sharks profile has him listed @ 106kg which does sound a bit more than it used to be if I am not mistaken but I don't consider that over weight for a prop forward provided he maintains his physical and aerobic fitness to still do his job on the field.

Yep, totally agree CM. Don't know why some people are totally obsessed with his weight. He's a front row forward for God sakes, he's supposed to be big. I thought he was strong on Saturday night and certainly worthy of mention.

I’d be happy with that now days!
