Gold Coast coach John Cartwright says he has no issue with Jamal Idris's weight after the giant centre's solid performance in the Titans' 24-14 win over Newcastle on Saturday.
The former Canterbury star looked way heavier than his official weight of 115kg, but Cartwright defended the former NSW representative and said his condition had been noted by the club's training staff, but was not an problem.
"Because he is so big you probably don't look at how talented a footballer he is," Cartwright said.
"People just look at his size, but he's a really talented footballer.

He looked about 20kg over his official weight.
I think the Titans paid way over for what he is worth.
