    I googled there when you said back injury and it does seem thats what it was around December that had him out a while.

    Wonder if he used to do a lot of shoulder and whatever excercises, maybe weights but stopped from the back problem and lost a lot of muscle from those areas.

    I mind clocking it right away soon as he returned to the bench when he was back in February or whenever, he looked "normal" when before he was one of the more bulky looking players you'd seen round the arms and shoulders, even Iwata you could tell looked more well built than him. From the last game he has put a bit back on but not fully what he was before.

    Been obvious him and others have been carrying injuries for a while, but playing as needed.

    Surprised Brendan didn't mention Anthony when talking about players that were here before..

    He did compare him to Danny McGrain, after all..

    And he's improved so much since then, never doubt Brendan..:BR1:

    To be fair he kinda threw Forrest and Bain. I got the impression he was talking about starting 11.

    Great to see this sort of support for some diverse charities from our club.

    Looks like Ralston is having a ball. Great representation of our clubs original values.

    Should start Saturday.

    Head and shoulders above Iwata and McPherson even if its just 45 mins he's had for pre-season. Not without risk given he's coming in raw like CCV.

    Agreed, he’s a shoe-in to start once BR is happy with his fitness.

    Was a good 45 for Ralston who can often look rusty after time out the team. Playing a more traditional fullback role should suit him too, as he is good at overlapping and getting crosses in.

    His legs look like they're made out of concrete.

    Even when he’s fit, the drop off from AJ to him is monumental.
