@Chris I look at him and I look at other people around the same weight and he is obviously far bigger.
You cannot be lock cover for the ABs at 108kgs.
BS now he is bigger than Akira,Foster also said Jordie was a wing.
Don’t quote Foster or we could pull out a number of stupid shit he has said . -

@Chris Frizell is not 108kgs!!!
He'll be close on 10kgs heavier than that.
Remember when Foster said he could cover lock.

I wouldn't be using Wiki for any reliable source of weights and heights. The official AB site would be a better source, although may not be entirely accurate either.
Same stats
But you're telling us Blackadder is much taller than his "official" stats.

Ok I concede that one but he is still bigger than people think .
He compares with the other 6s -

Since that article he has managed another 3kg according to Saders website but he looks to have bulked up a bit this year to my eyes.

@Crucial Yeah - Scott will be all of 120kgs these days.
Mainly posted to give some idea of the necessary dimensions to play lock. Fifita considered too light at 113kgs.
Frizell and Kaino both heavier than that and pretty obvious just looking at them.

I think Fifita saying he didn’t like the hard work required to play lock was probably an issue too.
Sigh, looks like James Blackwells AB career is over before it even starts.
Barrett is definitely more “stocky” than Whitelock and Retallick ( if someone who is about 6’ 6” can be described as stocky that is )
-
@MN5 That comment probably helps explain why he's not there at all. Though, apparently they got him to 116kgs and still wanted him at blindside.
But, if people are seriously wandering around thinking Frizell is only 108kgs it's no wonder they don't understand why he (and Scott) are getting picked at 6!!!

I think he’d be about that ( never having seen him in the flesh I could be wrong of course )

after looking better than both Ioane and Sotutu throughout Super Rugby
This is a myth. Grace was off the pace early in Super Rugby and then got better with a few prominent games near the end of the season. Even in his big games in the finals he wasn't prefect and had a fairly high misses tackle count. He carried on his end of season good form for the Maori. But it's easy to see why he wasn't selected in the initial AB squad, he wasn't an incumbent from most of last season and had an average Super campaign with a good ending.
Saying he was better than Sotutu is just bollocks. If we're looking at Super campaigns then MMT probably had the best form over the season.
Time to super size Scott Barrett
