No I don't, not even close tbh especially if we do sign the 2 players rumored.
Read an article last year about biggest/heaviest players in the NRL and Fifita was ranked about 5th, 6ft 4 & 120kg similar weight/height to the Burgess Twins, Russell Packer & Shannon Boyd. Only Mose Masoe was really heavier at 130kg.
Obviously size isn't everything at all but if they're SL standard and are fit at that weight, we'll should have some of the biggest Props in SL, which won't do us any harm at all next year and will hopefully give our exciting back line chance to play a bit and score plenty of tries.
Found that article about biggest NRL players last year. rlhttps://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/10-heaviest-players-nrl/rl

And he learnt most of those skills whilst at Wakey.

| Craig was in our local club on Sunday night with some of the Lock Lane players. I had to do a double take as he is the slimmest I've seen him for years.
He looks more like a back rower now so maybe thats the plan. Great signing if he stays fit.

Fingers crossed he is coming and is as fit as you say he looks. The squad is beginning to look really good, which obviously means we'll end up being dreadful and get relegated.

I wasn't kidding mate he had a tight shirt on so he looked impressive. Still got the beard though.

| So we have the possibility of some of the biggest forwards in the league and some of the fastest backs. If this comes off and the team gel together then they could worry a lot of clubs

Exactly. I just hope it isn't yet another wind up!

| Whether these signings come off or not the point stands,
We've got a big pack, super fast backs, one of the best half backs in the competition and another halfback that a top 2 club wants to sign
Happy days

Tbf before anyone linked Huby to our club, including the Cas fan or League express etc, there have been rumors about him leaving Hudds for quite sometime.
Doesn't automatically mean he's signing here but it does give it some legs. Especially as it seems the Hudds Coach has said he hasn't been happy with their recruitment, maybe because of the Cap & seems desperate to bring in some players of his own.

We've got a bigger pack IF they join us!

| Yes we've got 3 big Props atm but not enough depth in that department imo. From the sound of things, the Club are doing their best to sort this out. Hopefully at least one comes off but it would be a great boost if both happen.

No we have a bigger pack at the start of this season than we did last season. We didn't start with Fifita and Hirst is bigger than Scruton and Anderson.
Clearly we need at least one more prop to reach parity with last year but we are already bigger so it's good already. I'd be happy with Allgood tbh but Huby as well would be terrific.
I'm more inclined to believe we will get one or the other rather than both.

I'd settle for one of the two, for now, both would be a bonus.
