    My mrs occasionally watches that show on tlc 600lb fat asses or what ever it’s called
    Fuck me there are some people out there that have abused their bodies

    I still recall when we went to the states back in 2008, at Disneyland seeing all these mobility scooters parked up for the fatties to use because they wouldn’t be able to walk around the park.
    Dozens and dozens of them

    Her stories were mostly horrific, the way she talked about it so matter of factly made it worse .

    I did Disneyland in 2000 after Hawaii and yes, one could easily be mistaken into thinking there was a specially arranged day out for lard arses. No, not the case, just a series of independent fat fluffybunnies. Yours truly got up to 110kg on that holiday. So easy to do over there.

    @taniwharugby Hahaha, I have memories of hanging out in the back seat of a Datsun station wagon with my sister outside a pub, handles of raspberry and lemonade plus a bag of chips in hand while Dad had a beer.

    There was an article last week about a 9 year old league player in Auckland who is 110kg.

    You wonder what the end game is there. He's significantly more than three times the size I was when I was nine.

    Given the way rugby players seem to be ever increasing in size - I wonder if the ABs will be fielding 150kg props in the foreseeable future. I reckon most players about 20kg heavier than their counterparts in the 1970s.

    I saw that. How in the actual fuck does a 9 year old end up heavier than my 8 and 10 year old boys combined with about another 30kg for good measure ? My youngest is actually about 5kg more than his brother, just built differently....without being racist ( just stating facts ) I saw an island family at the all you can eat rib place in the Hutt. One bloke was nothing short of fucken enormous. Surely 200kg, wearing shorts and a t shirt in June and I felt sorry for his chair.....and the staff who had to cater for his appetite.

    France seem to have a few 150kg props running round but if they became the norm then the game basically turns into grid iron. Many "big" forwards of yesteryear would struggle to be halfbacks these days but there is only so far evolution can go although some of the recent new AB props are alarmly big ( tall as well ) but can obviously get round the field and do their job well.

    So yeah I think 130kg at the absolute most, any more and they just become latter day Bill Cavubatis.

    We kind of think that, but all it needs is for a guy who is 150kgs to be some sort of freakish fit and mobile bastard and there will be arms race among the other countries to build guys as big and good.

    Everyone has been looking for their new Jonah and some guys are getting close. Big Nemani Nadolo was even bigger though not as quick. Leicester Faingaanuku is 109kgs and quick and probably with scope to add a few kgs in a professional environment.

    Nadolo has played at around 130kg I think. I remember he made Jamie Roberts and George North look normal sized.

    I don't think the 150kg prototype is really possible though because its so much harder lugging 150kg around than 120kg even if a lot of it is muscle. There's a limit to how fast the heart can power a unit like that, look at Grid Iron players. Enormous and strong but with the lung capacity of a smoker breathing through a straw.

    @chris-b at the end of last year TR Jnrs U12 team played a team from Auckland, and thier Front Row was 297kg, granted not as big as you state, but this is still 3 10/11 year olds, although they were not exactly athletic or mobile...last year the upper weight limit for U12's for Whangarei JMB was 55kg but we had kids around 30kg.

    Seen a few this season, they were 100kg U13, but a few of these fellas were solid, fast and mobile.

    Kids are just getting bigger!

    In line with the thread topic, shocking performance by Stuff to have zero coverage (if they do have some it is well hidden) of the commemoration yesterday in Le Quesnoy.
    This town is fast becoming the kiwi point of focus regarding WW1 contribution in France and the efforts of the local people to keep the history alive is to be applauded.

    Some good coverage here form Newshub https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2018/11/our-second-home-hundreds-of-kiwis-commemorate-le-quesnoy-wwi-victory.html
