NRC 2017 Round 4: Melbourne Rising vs Greater Sydney Rams 24/09

Meafou looks a lot fitter now than in the Rebels pre season and for the 20's. Up close he is truly massive. A touch of the will Skelton about him, but i think more mobile and can jump in the line out. Ha'angana is going to be a very good 6/4

Yeah, as BR mentioned Latu-Meafou is the larger of the two large gents. As long as he grows up rather than out, he's already 145kgs. Despite his size he is pretty mobile. I especially liked the bit where he jumped over Holloway, AFL style, to take a restart.

That's the key. Making sure they grow the right way. Both look pretty mobile from everything I've seen so far.

We've got Trevor Hosea coming home from doing Years 10-12 in Brisbane next year as well, aren't we?

Meafou, Hosea, Ha'angana, Tupai and Leota is not a bad long term 4-8 group:

And not a White boy among them. Ideal.
