A Fev player I was chatting to in Wakefield last week said the same. Presume he had seen him at POR training?

My brother saw him out in town over the weekend and said he was absolutely huge.

I saw a picture of him once and he did look pretty big

Yes my mate saw him in town he said if pp says get ale in you get two !!

Just waiting for BOJO to pop up and tell us how small he is.

The Mrs and her mates saw more of him than most of us will have on Friday night and they weren’t complaining about him being out of shape

That sounds like a scandal if ever I heard one lol

Is he embracing the Westgate scene?

So size DOES matter .....

he is massive ! and it will either go two ways he will train hard and be a wrecking ball or he wont and wont last 5 mins without needing a sub! - I hope it goes the first way

how did he go? didn't seem like he was creating any havoc from the radio commentary- and other post say he needs more training..

He was just solid. Few drives, didn’t miss a tackle and put himself about. Standard run out really. I’d expect we will see him improve his fitness through the off season.

Generally pack didnt really perform all that well, but he had two decent stints, clearly a long way from match fit, in first stint he was feeling his way in, a bit ring rusty but plenty of potential. Looks a bit like big al and carries the ball in a similar manner so looking forward to seeing what 4 weeks pre season can do for him

Having chatted to him after the game he's bigger tha Ali much more solid. His exact words were that he was finding his way in the first game and would improve.

I should imagine CC saying take it steady nothing to prove at this point.
