HO has the most explosive power at Parramatta? Fans might say Fuifui Moimoi. Perhaps either of the Nathans - Cayless or Hindmarsh. Or maybe a dark horse such as Eric Grothe.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

When it comes to powerlifting, the strongest man at Parramatta is the guy who hasn't worn blue and gold for more than two years.

In the most surefire indication yet that he's ready to explode back into league this season, prodigal Eel Timana Tahu has astonished his teammates by smashing the club's all-time powerlifting record.

Fitter and stronger than ever, the dual international recently powerlifted 140kg - a considerable 10kg more than the previous high watermark set by former five-eighth Michael Buettner almost a decade ago....

      Michael Buettner was the previous record holder for powerlifting at 130kg?

      WTF???

      I thought that Buettner was a bit of a wuss, so either I have badly mis-judged him, or we have a pack of pussies...

        No wonder we haven't won a premiership for over 20 years. Michael Buettner the strongest eel.That'll do me..

      So its basically a squat and shoulder press combined. Have I understood correctly?

        No... I'm pretty sure he meant a squat & a shoulder press combined.
