to be fair i havent watched the video. i'd assumed it was off season as thats when the majority of that work is done, with an emphasis on maintaining during the season

Is Matty Peet lying then?

Last pre-season I think he put 10kg on and I read it as he’s matched that.

Word for word from Peet -



"he's almost 20 kilos heavier than he was this time last year, which is amazing. That's partly through training, but partly just his maturation as an athlete and as a bloke"



I wouldn't say he has put 20kg's on in 1 pre season, it is from this time last year so he probably put some muscle on playing against full grown men every week, natural growth as he is still young and then whatever he has put on through conditioning in this pre season. I imagine it is a combination of all 3.



Still scary (in a good way) that he is that much more of a bulk than he was at the beginning of last year and when he first broke through in 2023. I don't see what Peet would gain by lying or bending the truth about it though, he has no need to lie about Nsemba's size it already speaks for itself!

Probably joking. He could put weight on no problem but the club have given him an optimum weight that he needs to maintain. He was 17st 7lbs last season, do you think that he looks 20st 9lbs?
