It's insane how talented he was in his day, but good on the bloke for still pulling on the boots these days. I daresay that looks like it could be
a condition of sorts, not just bad dieting.

I’ve heard stories about his diet when he was in peak shape. This is diet, no professional training standards, and metabolism slowing with age.

To quote Andrew McCullough:

"Dave's favourite meal for a while was a full loaf of bread, a full chook and a bottle of tomato sauce and whenever he finished the chicken bones he used to put them down the side of the couch,"

Not from all accounts from players when he was still playing.

Entire loaves of Devon and tomato sauce sandwiches is a common tale, although hard to know if it’s a ‘the fish was this big’ story.

Possibly a mental thing where he just can’t stop himself, be it willpower or an actual diagnosable thing.
 
I wish we would sign Izzy. Imagine the saltiness from the rest of the NRL. Its mad they wont register him. If he agree to their terms he shouldnt be prohibited from playing footy.
There is absolute no way the NRL would let him come here. It's unlikely they'd take him on at any club, but by a very long way the Broncos would be at the bottom of that pile.

So hope you're right.
 


Taylor still in top shape


That's incredibly sad really. Should have been the greatest forward to ever play the game. Shocking how it's turned out for him. Just to think the bloke pretty much did a standing backflip not so long ago. One of my favourite players yet probably the player I've been most disappointed with at the same time.
 
If only he just ran straight and hard like Martin Lang. Occasional offload after he’s skittled defenders and he would’ve been unstoppable.
 

Classic WB

“He’s a hard man to get a hold of. We did the Fox League promo shoot and me and Wayne were meant to do an interview with Fletch & Hindy,” Arrow said.

“I rocked up and there’s no chance Wayne’s going, so I’ve sat down by myself and they said ‘where’s Wayne?’

“I said ‘well, he’s not here, I don’t know where he is.’ They said ‘can you go get the next best thing’ so I went and grabbed Liam Knight who’s a bit of a character and they asked if we could ring him.

“So Knighty’s called Wayne and he answered saying ‘Liam, what are you doing.’ Liam replied ‘oh, we’re just waiting for you... you’ve got an interview with Fletch and Hindy.’

“Then literally, through his lips, (Bennett) said ‘f*** off.’ We all cracked up and he said ‘I’ll see you at training tomorrow.’
 
All the Melbourne Storm players selected for the All Stars have been ruled out due to Covid travel issues.
