it seems Blackadder has added some bulk, Jason Ryan quotes Blackadder below as 118 KG now.
Forwards coach Jason Ryan, for one, is happy to have his former Crusaders charge in place. He knows exactly what he’s getting.
“He’s been good. He’s got into his work with us really well, He hasn’t had full training at intensity yet but he’s got to know the calls, the language. And he’s come in great shape. He’s 118kg, so he’ll be big and physical. He’s done everything he can to put some pressure on.”

118kg at 1.9m? Hope he can still get around the field for the time he is on!

That’s Carl Hayman sized.
Luckily normal rules don’t apply to Ethan Blackadder though.

They lost to Wales at home last year as well
Oh well they're fucked then

@Chris looool buuuuullshit
Either that or every other stat is vastly understated
I think @Stargazer is right, if EB doesn't immediately kill it, the retribution to the knob-gobbling he's received is going to be severe
-
Jason Ryan quoted it as 118 kg you would think he may know.or are you standing next to Blackadder,Nah I don’t think so I will believe Ryan over you lol.

Yeah 118kg at just under 6 3 is either muscle bound as fuck or fat as fuck. EB is neither.

Foster 'surprised' by 3 weeks down to 2 decision. Shows what a fucking numpty he is, considering every man and his dog had that as the outcome days ago.
Yeah, coz he really meant that and it wasn't at all just a dig at the inconsistencies...
I will be so happy next year that FDS will be no longer.
He is NOT a good coach or selector, but by fuck it gets tiresome.

Just stole this from t’interweb…..
Seems apt here.
“Billed weight is the weight that WWE wants you to believe is that superstar's real weight. It's generally higher than their actual weight to make them seem bigger. Or in some cases, the billed weight is less than the superstar's weight to make them seem smaller. To make themselves appear “Larger than life".

I find it genuinely difficult to guess the real weight of players I've only seen on TV or from a distance.
Only last week I was playing footy with an ex u20 Kiwi rep and he was >130kg. Admittedly he's a big unit but I'd have guessed 120 tops.
Perhaps that just means I can't judge weight.

Add 10kg for the bottoms.
As to Ethan, he does have very square shoulders and a secret neck.
I could well imagine he's over 110 but if 118 I just hope he is matchfit and fast. Because that is some natural engine he has. -
