They all look as skinny as the AFL 18 year olds except for the few that you pointed out.

Correct. The major difference is its an advantage to be tall in ARs so a number of their teenagers will be lean because of their height as many are still growing at 18

I just looked up the Boyd kid he is now 123Kg but he is 20 years old. What was he at 17? 100Kg? Shame on you RD for trying to pretend that he was 123Kg as a 17 year old.

No, you thought I thought.....

I knew there'd be few. Every AFL club would have 4-5 over 6'5". That's 60-70 in the AFL.

Punished ... Blake Ferguson was ejected from Foreshore Music Festival. Source: Gregg Porteous / News Limited
Canberra centre Blake Ferguson has been punished by his NRL club after being ejected from a music festival for reportedly spitting at patrons.

Danger, danger: It's a big off-season for ... + 60
The Canberra Times reported Ferguson spat on fellow music goers at the Foreshore music festival on November 24, before being escorted from the VIP area by security.

A Raiders spokesman said in a brief statement on Wednesday that Ferguson had been dealt with internally for being ejected from the festival, but declined to confirm it was for spitting.

We run the rule over every NRL coach and assess what each must achieve to gain a pass mark for 2013.

"We're not discussing it any further,'' the spokesman said.

The father of a witness of the incident wrote to the Canberra newspaper after getting no response from the Raiders.


"While this incident may not be as vile as others involving sports stars over recent years, not only those from the NRL, it is nevertheless a low and disgusting act, and is repugnant to fans, both young and old,'' the man wrote.

The 22-year-old centre attended the festival with Raiders teammates, however there have been no other reports of misbehaviour.

The incident occurred just two weeks after Canberra began pre-season training for 2013.

The 2010 Indigenous All-Stars representative previously found himself in trouble with the Raiders' administration in May when he showed up to training still under the influence of alcohol.
