That’s not Toyota cup and I agree out of all of them Kennedy seems to be bulked up the most.

Ronaldo is thin but you can tell that he’s got a big frame to fill. he gets ragdolled in our red zone.

Also, look at Cleary then compared to now and see how much he’s benefitted from putting on some size

have a look at clearys chin, he has definitely taken HGH

He's had some success with strong upright carries between players. I think he thinks because those have been some of his best runs that is the best way to run, but in our red zone, or on kick return against a good chase he is probably better off getting low. The hard upright run that has worked for him I think usually works more between the half and centre on the back foot, not the other teams full forward pack tearing towards him from a ptb 2m out from out line.

Look at his face pimples everywhere - wouldn’t be suprised if he’s on some heavy duty sht

It's a classic symptom... I think Papa Cleary used to sprinkle a little muscle dust on Nateys ice cream

Re Ronnie,
Re the intercept he took in the second half, dunno if he was gassed or not? But I didn’t think Hoppa would be the one who would run him down, did it in about 50m as well, surprising.

I don't get why people think he's fast, he's actually quite slow for a winger imo.

He ain't quick. Hope they're looking to bring someone with genuine pace into our backline.

I've admired Connor's efforts at centre, but even he hasn't looked as fast as I thought he'd be.

Didn't do it fast enough

Think he was our fittest in preseason, or one of.
One reason why I think he could be developed into a centre is he has the fitness and (enough) pace to do the kind of thing Turbo was doing in Origin and pop up on the long side as an extra number.
Not remotely a Turbo level player but could be something we could play with

If Xerri had done that people would need windscreen wipers for their televisions.

He just comes across as a guy you want on the park the whole game. He's been tough enough to weather the softening up periods, and fit and fast enough to be backing up in the middle or burning guys on the edges. Get his passing game into gear and add 5kg and he could be anything.

that was in the last minute of the first half and he did it from a standing start
