They may be slightly taller but they will both be only around the 80kg mark, the good thing is they each have a great frame to put on some size.

...85kg and 92kg, so moving in the right direction.

No chance either of them has a playing weight of 92kgs, maybe they were at that before preseason or during it.

Having seen Jebson in action I can tell you he's about that weight. Both of them will fill out over the next year as the club gets them ready for first team duty.

The other backrower is Nick Stavely. He's really big.

Stavely is a unit, more of a prop style 13, he is getting interest from the NRL

Who's the Wigan player we are being linked to?

Hopefully Bevan French

It is.

French, Trueman, Connor would give us plenty of strike.

Don't get too excited though. Article says a move to a rival SL club seems unlikely. Canterbury and Parra both been linked to him too.

Matt Shaw pouring cold water all over the French rumour.

The flip side is JD gets more right than he does wrong.

Personally I can't see it happening. If I was him I'd feel like I owed Wigan something after how they were understanding with his family bereavement.

Saying that he won't be first choice full back at Wigan, I can't see him being first choice in the NRL either, unless Canterbury prefer French to Dufty.
