Quote: Big Dave T "The one thing i will say is that other than this year he's been an absolute rock in defence. Whether you like Yak or not you must be able to appreciate his defensive work and the fact that he completed tackles one on one where we'd have usually needed 2 or 3 defenders. He physically had the size to hurt people but seems to have lost it this year.'"
He does seem to have lost some weight this year, but I don't ever think he was a typical prop's size TBH. He's always reminded me of McNicholas physically, but seemed to do more with the weight he had. That's why he struggled this year IMO, he didn't seem to have the energy to make up for the lack of build any more.
