@MN5 Everyone is in the gym though so additional power is coming with additional weight.
That article says Ardie was targeting 106kgs seven years ago and I'd be surprised if he stopped there. But, he's on the short side for a loose forward, so harder for him to effectively carry the same weight on his frame compared with the taller guys.
e.g. Dave Havili said he'd shed a couple of kgs this season and improved his mobility - presumably gone past his "sweet spot" mentioned in Paul's article.
Rieko is listed as 103kg and Savea kinda looks shorter and lighter.
It's the haircut.

Ardie is pretty slim based on the last time I got to see him up close. And Ioane looks even slimmer this season

Man this thread seems to go full circle. Once again talking about Ardie's height and weight. Classic stuff.
Well, you're all wrong, Moana has him listed at 1.80m and 85kg. The diet is certainly helping with his performance this year.

It won’t be complete until you talk up Billy Proctor as first choice 13 this year.

There's an article from around 2020, where Rieko says he was about 105kgs, but had dropped to 102kg and thought it was helping his mobility, but not sure about winning collisions. Based on that you'd think he'd be minimum 102kgs, but could easily be 4-5kgs more now.
Here it is...

@Canes4life He's trolling us!

Done. Billy Proctor should be AB 13 this year. Change my mind.
