I've heard a whisper from a reliable source that players such as Johnson have dropped up to 6 kg's in the team's endeavour for speed in 2006.
Has anyone heard or noticed any of this during the off season?

Most of the players have dropped some weight due to walking the Kokoda trail. Whether it's a deliberate thing aimed at making the players a bit faster is something that we'll never probably know. Haven't had time to get down to training yet, but from the photos I've seen quite a few player look noticably slimmer than last year. IMO speed is overrated somewhat - any team will look faster when they're not winning the clearances and that's exactly what we failed to do last season.
