was chatting to one of the academy lads yesterday. He recons Fekka is doing realy well with his weight loss and is looking very much leaner. great news IMO.

Thank God. I thought you were going to say he's been injured as well.

Had a quick word with Feka, Carmont and Hansen in the gym last week. Feka's apparently lost around 20 pounds so far.

Tell you one thing he should keep the beard he's grown - that thing would scare anyone off.

So a stone and a half already. Got to be good.

Hopefully Piggy is on the same diet. Looking at some footage from last year. It was embarassing. A PROFESSIONAL athlete looking like that?

Me to.

I'm glad to hear the guy's losing weight, people's gripe's with feka are over his mobility and duration spent on the field, if this new fitness regime can sort those two problems out we'll have a new player on are hands.

Hopefully we'll see an improvement in all the players, not just the one's that us fans have in the past deemed unfit.

I saw that the other day, bald head with a long beard, awesome.

Hes not turned to Islam has he?

Sure it wasn't Kimbo Slice?

but why has it took this long for him to lose this weight off him why did not noble forshaw make him lose it seasons gone by?

Well if he has that hook would make a cracking hand off..!

And when trying his new XL shorts on he'd be able to say...

"Does my bomb look big in this?"

Out of contract at the end of the season

When given there new training gear at the start of pre- season feka told MM that he would never fit in his

MM said dont worry you will when i've finished with you

That is a lot of weight to lose all sounds postive so far a part from the injuries

Unfair comment IMO. Feka clearly has the heart and passion for the club - just see his reaction to his try at Hull KR. He is always involved in the community, attending events and spending time to go down to a few of the Junior presentation evenings and summer/easter camps.

A poor fitness regime is to blame. Feka didn't arrive how he is now. He was a very fit player and IMO his performances have dropped as his fitness has declined.

Hahaha, you say 'have a quick word' as if you know them - Let's be honest, you seen the pictures on Hansen's facebook didn't you? lol just jk with you pal! x

someone posted some pics a few month back of feka when at NZ warriors. He was a similar shape to fui fui. looked awesome. if he gts back to something like that we will have a monster of a prop on our hands,

He will have lost the majority of the weight he is likely to lose by now as they should be moving into the strength/power section now, he may lose a little more but i would not expect any more significant losses, perhaps another 5/6 pounds.

They could put him on a further non linear periodised program that is less power/strenght than the others, and maintain a little more aerobic work but i think that 25 pounds is a hell of a lot to lose in an off season and the last thing we need are the strong areas of his game to be affected by his loss.

Lets be fair and say he defo needed to lose at least one and half stone for the new season

seriously all the best for next season you will be "there or there abouts" in all the comps

Have criticised him in the past for being a fat knacker, would love to see him in shape and earning his money by terrifiying the opposition

they have still got halloween masks for sale in sainsbury's

Nah thanks, he's growing his own.

I am sorry but when you weigh 21 stone loosing a stone and a half aint good enough,he needs another 2 off at least.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd love him to slim down to the point where he's no longer effective.
