Migh just be the picture I have seen but it looks like he has a sleeve at 16. Looks a big unit although the picture might be deceiving as he does not look 196 cm next to Savage.

Given were we are as a club and list at the moment I am all for having a crack at signing some NZ kids.

Looks like Savage may have been on his tip toes.

Looks taller than Savage to me...(Savage on tippy-toe, I think is an illusion)



He looks pretty leen. So at 96kg at 196cm there must be a fair bit of muscle

Check out the comparitive heights of their shoulders, and to me Savage seems to be 'stretching' himself to his tallest in that photograph, whereas the kid seems to be 'just standing there'.

I think Savage is on tip-toe in the photo. If his right foot was flat on the ground the shadow line from his other leg would be continuous at the ground/sole interface, not dis-jointed as it appears.

196cm 96kgs and runs 20 metres in 2.97 seconds!! He's obviously a freak of an athlete, hope he can learn our game.

Has he seen a footy before?

Five years on the weights and he would be an absolute monster.

If he's only 16 he's probably still got some growing to do. Could end up 200cm+.
