He’s not very big at under 100kg and quite young, with walters signing I’m not sure we need another project prop, we need an older pack leader if you ask me. If I’m way off the mark with this one please enlighten me, can’t say I’ve ever seen Chan play.
We have a fair few project props in the Reserves/Academy...did Tiaki play against us this season?

Walters seems ready for first team now and plugs a gap so no arguments there.

Chan better than walters for me. Walters needs to start running to his height and weight. A lot of lateral movement which is completely different to his academy days. Chan very good footwork and of the havard mould. Will be loved here I’m sure of it

Seem to remember seeing his name on the roster the last time we played Catalans at ours, mainly because a number of people round us thought they heard 'Jackie Chan' :D

He was on the bench for that game and maybe played (I'll check) but not in the team for Magic. I'd guess he played at the DW last season when Cats sent a weakened team?

What diet are they gonna get the lad on to achieve that? 110kg? Pies and a few pints down at the central? 🤪

That doesn't seem too heavy given he's 6'5" probably won't affect his mobility either.

He's listed as 105kg already so an extra 3kg won't make all that much difference. I gain that every Xmas :lol:

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
