    it seems Blackadder has added some bulk, Jason Ryan quotes Blackadder below as 118 KG now.

    Forwards coach Jason Ryan, for one, is happy to have his former Crusaders charge in place. He knows exactly what he’s getting.

    “He’s been good. He’s got into his work with us really well, He hasn’t had full training at intensity yet but he’s got to know the calls, the language. And he’s come in great shape. He’s 118kg, so he’ll be big and physical. He’s done everything he can to put some pressure on.”

        That’s Carl Hayman sized.

        Luckily normal rules don’t apply to Ethan Blackadder though.

              @Chris looool buuuuullshit

              Either that or every other stat is vastly understated

              I think @Stargazer is right, if EB doesn't immediately kill it, the retribution to the knob-gobbling he's received is going to be severe

                  Yeah 118kg at just under 6 3 is either muscle bound as fuck or fat as fuck. EB is neither.

                    Blackadder below is 118 kegs, when you add that to Blackadder above, that's some weight!

                        Yeah, coz he really meant that and it wasn't at all just a dig at the inconsistencies...

                        I will be so happy next year that FDS will be no longer.

                        He is NOT a good coach or selector, but by fuck it gets tiresome.

                                    I find it genuinely difficult to guess the real weight of players I've only seen on TV or from a distance.

                                    Only last week I was playing footy with an ex u20 Kiwi rep and he was >130kg. Admittedly he's a big unit but I'd have guessed 120 tops.

                                    Perhaps that just means I can't judge weight.

                                      I find it genuinely difficult to guess the real weight of players I've only seen on TV or from a distance.

                                      Only last week I was playing footy with an ex u20 Kiwi rep and he was >130kg. Admittedly he's a big unit but I'd have guessed 120 tops.

                                      Perhaps that just means I can't judge weight.

                                      Add 10kg for the bottoms.

                                      As to Ethan, he does have very square shoulders and a secret neck.
                                      I could well imagine he's over 110 but if 118 I just hope he is matchfit and fast. Because that is some natural engine he has.

                                        It would be excellent if he can play with the impact of 118 with his engine. I've said before that he would benefit from more weight because his workrate is beyond question.
