PNG youngster ready to roll at IC14

Hi Cam,

Try to get that report in prior to Sunday because once the real games start anything else will get swamped.

Yes South Africa have some significant talls. Wessels is listed at 196cm (6'5"). Check out the preview here http://www.worldfootynews.com/article...2222125865 for a discussion.

The big question - did any of those big guys look like they were good footy players too and could give the Lions first tap or take some contested marks?

I think in 2008 we thought they might rise quickly and they did, maybe even faster than expected. 2011 we were disappointed as they slipped. Maybe they're now the dark horse to stun everyone and have a crack at the grand final for the first time. But like I said elsewhere, I might have to see them get runs on the board before jumping on that horse.--- Brett Northey - Co-founder and Chief Editor of WFN

answer to you question, Brett, yes all look like they can play footy. Jurie has a basketball background, played as a junior for SA. Some of the other bigger bodied blokes have a rugby background and all seem to be pretty athletic. There were a few good contested marks taken but there were a couple of sitters dropped as well :-)
Fitness could be a bit of a problem tho, there were few guys cramping up, but that could be because they were playing on different playing surface than normal.
