How many of our skinny guys have gained weight his off season in the weight room and how much have they gained?

I read somewhere that Ray Hall & Fiora had put on 5 and 4kgs respectively. I also hope that Krakouer, Pettifer & McGrath have bulked up too and Schultz, whilst still a kid, needs to get a weight program started asap to fastrack his development. Hopefully Coughlan has put on a few more kilos and while Zantuck & Rodan are already solid I hope they have gained some extra armour as well.

I've gained 5 kg since Christmas without even seeing a weight room. Perhaps I should pass some tips on to the club's conditioning staff.

the younger players are probably still growing and decent diets with gym work and running will sort it out. Running should reduce weight but every lap of the tan also strengthens (and therefore adds weight) to the leg muscles.

Fiora came on board a month ot two after spud...that means he's into his 4 th pre-season...he should be ready to carve it it up now.

Same for Mills and Zantuck.

3 pre-seasons for Pettifer, Coughlan, Hyde, Newman, Krak'r.

These 8 players should be ready to rip.

I heard that dud Clinton King put on a wopping 3 kilos. This should strike fear into opposition midfielders!!! Mind you if this clown went to the hairdresser, he would drop 5 kilos.
