I know interweb stats suck and all, but Kwagga is listed at 1.8m and 98kg
Sititi is listed at 1.87m and 113kg....1.87 is probably a bit short for a genuine 6, but size wise, 113 is a good size for a ball carrier, that we need
That’s about the same as Papalii and Blackadder though isn’t it ? Jacobsen and Cane not much lighter…..
I think it’s more a case of explosiveness and body position rather than weight.

From a mate, which I posted back in early June
Blackadder debuted in 2018 and has played 7 seasons of Super. He's played 42 Super games. There are two seasons where he has played more than 5 matches.
The very definition of keeping your powder dry

Story of the season is surely Blackadder casting off his niggles moniker by being an 80 minute week in week out tyro.
WPOTY incoming. 😀
This post aged well.
He plays too hard, even for his own body. Remorseless dedication to the shirt.
Yeah, that can't be denied. I'm far from his biggest fan and side with the critics of him, but yeah, he really does give it his all when he does make the field.

The powder may be dry, but the keg has taken a hell of a beating!

@nostrildamus nah, pacts are serious bizness. Not for wings banished to the shadow realm by lock/blindside/8 hybrids not noted for their footwork

@MN5 not that internet stats are worth alot, both Cane and Dalton are supposedly under 110kg...anywho, point was someone said Sititi was only 7 sized, when in reality he is a good size for a traditional 8, but then you have Ardie, so yeah...but yep other shit goes into it too.

They should all get weighed before matches like combat sport fighters.
That way we can say ‘ooooo such and such needs to bulk up/stop eating pies’

Fears : Jordan under Pollard's bombs - lineout because of the smallest ever FL trio of the professional era - lack of speed on the wings.
Hopes : quick ball for DMac as Ratima's passing is sharper than TJP's - Scrum should work even better thanks to its cohesion (same starting front five) - Pollard less dangerous than Feinberg with ball in hand. -
Fears : Ref rulings

Ray do not sub unless needed

@kiwiinmelb best hope they have been doing lots of catching drills this week 😬

@kiwiinmelb should have got the original bomb squad in for some coaching sessions.
