How bout Langford gets a giant Stringer tatt and a bit of a paunch?
Would you overlook their skeletal structure then?
It’s scary when you think there’s always been a skeleton inside you.
And…your bones have never been dry.
Just saying.
You scare too easily
Speak for yourself. My bone goes through long dry spells.

You are basing him losing zip and not pushing himself aerobically off one game? Pretty harsh assessment.
I didn’t say anything about aerobic pushing.
He has clearly lost pace though.
I have watched the dogs a lot and he has certainly lost his pace due to his size.
I expect as the season wears on he will shed that weight and get his explosiveness back.
I’m a big fan of Stringer and expect he will be a big influence this year.
Thread is a little cuckoo tonight.
Wait are we talking 2015 AA Stringer type pace or the 2017 version?
I know he’s explosive, but was he ever really much quicker than we’ve seen over JLT and the first round?
He was super quick.
Him bulking up to current weight is obviously by design. I hope the club knows what they are doing because in my opinion he would be more valuable having that break away pace.

I think it is too early to judge whether he has lost any pace.
I’m not saying it’s gone forever.
From what I saw on Friday he has definitely slowed though.
To be expected when you bulk up like he definitely has.
Not a bad game considering he has never played in front of a crowd.

Except the 2016 finals series.
That was a corporate crowd and other supporters not wanting Sydney to win. He is now playing in front of supporters!

I thought Zaka said Stringer lost 4kgs since joining us.
He looks bigger to me.
Maybe he’s just carrying an injury then.
Not at all what I’m saying. KM put him looking a bit rusty down to putting on too much size. I disagree, in my view he’s been basically coasting up ‘til now - and it’s easier to look good when you’re fresh. Now he’s actually pushing himself, his skills have come back to the pack a little.
When he gets fit - really fit - we’ll see those skills again.

He’s lost weight. He looks more ripped, but he’s lost weight.
