Anybody who thinks any of the players smoke at training are seriously deluded.

What a menu! It doesn't get better than that!

How long after the match was this? After 60 minutes you've missed your chance to take on protein and vegetable carbohydrate. I can't believe they were in the motorway cafe one hour after the match were they?

yes - were you being deliberately obtuse? I meant removed KFC from their post match regime.

I know. Everyone knows you can't smoke in the bar at I's

What about when we saw Welled Hauraki in McDonalds, does that mean Leeds are run like a pub team too.

tbh I cant really comment as I've never seen players stopping for a KFC and have no idea whether or not Long has designated smoking breaks. However its certainly not limited to Agars regieme, Jason Smith for example was a heavy smoker but I never heard anyone complain about him.

I forgot about that

, although it was 2 days after he'd played.

Whilst it's ideal to replenish your glycogen stores as soon as possible after a game (and to take on protein for muscle recovery), it's a myth that you 'miss your chance' if you don't do it within an hour.

I'd suggest that the body is still recovering for 24-48 hours after a game like professional rugby league and, as such, your diet should be right during this time.

No, I missed what you meant. Still, I seriously doubt that a qualified sports nutritionist (or even just a person with half a brain) would 'try' KFC to see if it would be suitable as a post match meal.

Could tuck into a bloody big kebab after every match if they win.

And if any of our squad starts playing half as well as he did on a bad day, they're welcome to smoke 40 a day whilst downing lukewarm lard from a pint glass!

As well as getting dragged out of Whittington & Cat regularly at 5am in a morning smashed out of his face.

He couldn't half open up a defence though.

as was the case that two NRL clubs were offering deals to him , i also called it the day before he was coming to us AND during the afternoon of the day he DID sign way eay before the press got it
anyway dont let those facts stand in the way

play nice

Yes, and again, I was joshing.

In terms of what they ate after the match; do we know? Do we know if they had already had their spinach and chicken straight after the match and this wasn't just another meal? And the answer is no".

This is clearly just (not necessarily this piece of the debate) a dig at the club. And is it a fair way of comparing our club against the likes of Wigan? No. Is it a convenient way of finding fault with FC by highlighting one particular and very specific circumstance? Yes it is.

If the OP wasn't having a dig, why didn't they balance it against evidence of the many things that the club are regularly and very publically doing to show the game and the club in a positive light?

I didn't really count them

Please, tell me you didn't?

You said he wouldn't be coming. Then you said he was when it was more or less common knowledge anyway. Anyone could do that, even a total moron. Which is just as well.

Thank fook.

I don't believe you though.

I would actually be quite good if they did videos on the club's prep and post match routines on the club website

I'm sure if you actually count them you'll see that my guesstimate was grossly under what the actual figure was

good point well made. That would be a good thing for O'Meley's spot

That answer is irrelevant, in my opinion. Eating something as nutritionally poor as a KFC in the first few hours after a game isn't the way professional athletes should be behaving. Have stuff like that in moderation, sure, but not on the same day as a game.



I agree with that assessment overall, as I think my posts have shown.

to even think aobut a figure of posts is somewhat unhinged, get over yourself and play nice
