How far back did you want me to go Sully, 20 years! Most of the current Reds squad probably never saw any of the first three play in Maroon colours.

Not one of our regular backs is heavier than 95 kgs. Anyone who doesn't think that's not going to be a problem at some stage is dreaming.

Listed weight aside, I wouldn't be surprised if Isaac Henry was over 95kg (listed at 94kg, but that's from 2021 and I think we can all agree he's bulked up), but if you want listed weights only Daugunu is apparently 98kg and Anderson is 97kg, both from this year when they signed with the Reds. We're almost certainly going to be running one wing over 95kg every game, sometimes 2.

This is why listed weights just don’t mean anything. Henry came out of the womb heavier than Daugunu. The Wallabies pack is apparently 20kg lighter than every other pack even with Bell, Tupou, Valetini, Skelton, Frost.

Not sure why we'd not consider Petaia in this "large" outside back, he managed 58 games for the Reds.

I would consider him a big body..

I went and watched the reds training a few weeks back at Ballymore, and Petaia and Vunivalu who were doing rehab on the side but still with the backs and looked considerably larger compared to the rest of the Reds backline.

I don’t care for the stats say, a small bloke has more reason to lie than a bigger one.

He debuted in 2018, so he's averaging around 8-9 games a season for the Reds.

Fraser debuted in 2019 and is up to 72 matches.

No point being a bigger bloke if you can't make the field more than 3/4 of the time.

Mate, he's played 58 matches and started in 53, having debuted as an 18 year old. This year and 2019 are the only two years where he missed the majority of the season, otherwise he's been there for most of it, including your Super AU championship.
