You'll know who he is after tonight!

He's a good, if not outstanding young prop. 6'3" and 16 and a half stone, hardly likely to worry Walmesly, and lucky for him Mose isnt playing, he'd get eaten!

Doesn’t LMS and Hock have a bit of previous with each other? Then again who doesn’t have a bit of previous with Hock? Magic weekend springs to mind. There could be some fireworks and biff a plenty.

Tackle busts
Walmsley: 14 Tasi: 2

Tackles
Walmsley: 35 (+8 marker tackles) Tasi: 37 (+5 marker tackles)

Missed tackles

I won't mention quality of opposition in the two games

I wouldn't sniff at a prop that makes an average of 7.79 metres per drive.

Watch the hubris, fellas.

Whilst I generally agree, Tasi's stats are behind walmsley, lms and Amor for metres per carry (8.2 and 7.83 respectively) and well behind laffranchis tackle stats of 45+10 marker tackles (which is equal to soliolas tackling effort, interestingly enough)

That's not to say, he won't go on to have a wow of a game, but the stats from the first two games indicate we have him beat.

He's good no doubt, but those figures for him were against Wakey and the might of London. Walmesley's against Wire and Hull. Slightly different opposition

Ha will you ever learn?
I do think saints fans who haven't heard of lama will be surprised by him tonight, he looks a real good prospect. Walmesly looks the real deal though, stepping straight in to jammers boots

Mind you, jammer will be with us next season...
