I think Thompson and Ellis are our best forwards by quite a distance at the moment.
Walters needs to put some serious weight on in the off season and he could be superb.
Sam is not allowed to put any weight on. What do you think he weighs?
He's down as around 17 and a half stone.
He does look very very skinny to me. How come he isn't allowed to bulk up?

Can we have 1 new prop and a second rower next season please, release Cooper, Isa, Burn, Chan & Eseh and bring in 2 big barnstorming NRL players, also how about swapping Keighran for Toby King and Hampshire for anybody
No can do Meds, we would have to release two non fed players.

17 stone 10 lbs. The Club set weights for each player if they exceed their designated weight they get fined. Walters wishes to be a second row forward and consequently needs to have greater mobility. If he was a prop then he would be allowed to add a few pounds

To be fair to all the second rowers, they havent been put through many gaps this season as of yet.This probably suites nsemba the most with his size.Faz is still awesome but, bar wembley, cant remember him in the clear much.Once we get Walters running off french, field and smith into gaps we will see the best of him.Granted he needs to improve his grabbing defence

With his height, I would have him heavier.

Chan is fed trained, he started playing in France IIRC.

Why?
Is there a size limit for second row?
