Is hamish the same size as haumole or a tad smaller?

 

[Dave03]

I'm soo bloody happy for him. There's an innocence about him, no ego. Just love of the game.

Does this seal his "fate" as a long-term backrower rather than lock?

Not long term, maybe 2-3 years which would be perfect.

Just saw them standing together. Look pretty much the same. Hamish might be a bit bigger.

I was reading he had a late unexpected growth spurt. I wonder if that meant he had to develop good footy fundamentals beforehand then the growth spurt helped make those skills/traits more better.

Am I wrong or did Hamish only revert to playing second row about halfway through the season? It must mean the points he gained when playing lock counted toward the total.
