I think this has been asked before, but I don't recall an answer, so I'd like to ask again, of anyone who has seen him in action: is Adam Parkins, the Academy prop, really as big as the player stats suggest? My crude translation from metric to real money suggests he's 6' 5" and weighs 21-and-a-half stone at age 18! Wahoo!

Difficult to judge his prowess against a woeful Sale Jets side, but dimension wise, yes he is a monster!

Yes, he was ginormous. Didn't actually stay on for very long against the Jets, as I remember.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep - not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
