Always thought he has had a startling lack of athleticism.

That was highlighted today.

Unless something changes significantly I really don’t see him ever being a first team player at a team hoping to challenge for honours.

The majority of the weight he seems to carry looks like fat, if he can turn that into muscle whilst staying around 17/18 stone then he’ll be a real player

It’s not his weight it is his running style, and lack of acceleration I’m concerned with. He is very lumbering and awkward.

Not his fault it’s just genetics but something I can’t see him getting past. Hope I’m wrong.

Yeah you’re correct he does look slow and awkward but I think with some weight loss and work on his fitness he’ll look a lot better, you can’t carry the fat he does and he fast unfortunately

I’d agree with you,watched him over the last couple of years and I don’t know he doesn’t look like one that you’d say for certain he has that X factor and it’s his running style as you say,he’s a way off being SL standard at the moment,but time is on his side

I agree. He just doesn’t look like a rugby player to me.
