He was overweight at Catalan, but was still the most effective player on the pitch in every Catalan game i watched and played long minutes.

Overweight does not always mean unfit, however on this occasion he looks to have piled a lot of weight on in a short space of time, i don`t see how that couldn`t effect his fitness.

With his off field antics, i would keep well away from him. Widnes scream desperate, so i wouldn't be surprised to see them in for him.

Just looks like he's not maintained regular training to me. Only needs a short space of time to lose the musle.

And a fair bit of ale and pie to develop such a gut in a short space of time. Looks to have been on the Jarrad Hickey diet.

As I said, a short period of time without regular training for guys who are use to training five days a week,will show within weeks.

I don't think any of you can deny that he is one of the best players in the world right now, regardless of the league he is playing in.

He's not even in bad shape.

I work out and when I've had injuries and had to stop like when I hurt my back, it took about 2/3 months to lose some muscle and my BFP went up by about 5/7% during that time, but I'm not a regular drinker. Like you say if you've been doing it for a long time like Taylor has, if he applies himself he could get back in shape in a couple of months, like he did at Canberra. He wasn't as big when he went there though.

Saying all that hasn't he just done at least part of Toronto's Pre season just a couple of months ago? Wonder if he turned up looking like that and didn't bother.

Looking at him, he's not put weight on his face and got a big beer belly, speaks volumes what he's been up to imo.

Canberra got him probably in the best shape he's been in a few years but it didn't take long for him to absolutely pile it on.

Indeed. A guy of Taylors size training hard every day will eat a mountain of food. If you stop training but dont cut the calories you will pile weight on very quickly. The weight wouldnt be a big concern for me if I was looking at signing him. Its only a spare tyre. Its his other problems that I would be more concerned about.

Yep he's probably one of the best players in the world, unfortunately for him there's about a couple of hundred who are better.

Nah I certainly couldn't think of anyone either currently playing the game or even in years gone by that could lace his boots
You certainly know your stuff and IMO he should be inducted as the next immortal
What do you think?

Are you judging his body shape on your own to come to that conclusion, or is it your wife trying to make you feel good?
