With him being all but certain to play prop this year i wonder if he's been allowed to put some weight on during the off season.

I don’t think it matters that much as natural leaders will lead regardless but DT just narrowed down the captaincy shortlist to Herman, Lane, Sezer, Cartwright and Asiata.

Enjoyed the Hardaker interview, had his off-field issues but there is no denying he speaks about and understands the game very well. A proven winner pretty much everywhere he's gone who I think will be a big asset for us during his time here.

Heard Rapana has picked up an injury now .
