I tend to think of leaguies as being big units
Isn't that a perceived holdover from the pre-professional days?
He looks way more jacked than Reiko Ioane who should probably spend more time in the weights room than on his phone.

Why? He’s faster than anyone else we have and he doesn’t really lose physical exchanges. Plus RTS is flexing while doing exercises while Reiko is sitting on his arse reading the Fern and thinking “I’d like to see you fat fucks play centre”.

Tongue in cheek, I’m a big fan of Reiko.
I guess I’m just bemused that someone thinks RTS is not that big.
Here’s one more to scale.

I don’t think RTS is a big back in either rugby or league. Solid yep, but not tall or overly heavy. Both Reiko and Joey Manu tower over him and are slightly heavier and he’s smaller than a regular midfielder like say Alex Nankinvell.
Really, I’m only surprised by the surprise of @nzzp.

Surprising cos he’s only about 6 2……Geez the camera crew are gonna have real issues if Jordie and RTS get selected in midfield together at any stage.

I don't really watch league, so when he rocked up I thought he'd be bigger. We haven't yet seen the best of him, but I don't think he's as big as Beaudy, and certianly not Rieko.

Did the ever growing Ardie steal one of his inches?

Ennor and RTS lucky to be there - otherwise it looks good.
The real interest is in who is named in the AB XV squad tomorrow. The positions of who is named may hint at which players in this AB squad might get a run for the AB XV.
To be replaced by?

Lam stands out as an obvious swap for Ennor as a centre/wing.
RTS - well you could either pick another midfielder (TUJ, PUJ, Aumua etc) or with Jordie/Havili/ALB at 12 you could pick another outside back.

@Canes4life Hard to think of a luckier player in recent history.
Akira Ioane
Boom tish
This is the worst Boom tish eva, even for a rapid Cantab such as yourself
. One player is on multiple tests, most of them good. The other one hasn't played a full season of rugby since he was terrible at NPC level.Hori Bridge has a better claim to an AB spot than Ennor.

he's really light

Ennor? I'm going to have a meltdown. Not even sure he could carry the bags without getting an injury or dropping them on the tarmac.

Thankfully it's unlikely someone will kick a bag at him, cos no chance then

Yeah, that's why I said it. Worrying!!!!I see it as Jordie at 12 and Rieko and ALB fighting it out for 13 with Rieko having the inside running unless ALB can outplay him.

No way he would've called Ennor in if he thought jordie was anything but a stop gap midfielder in his eyes. He's still the same coach

@Machpants
Does he not have eyes?
Jordie put in a near perfect performance at 12 after the slop served up by Havili.
Seriously, if he shuffles Jordie back to 15, fuck him. -
