It's called genetics (as well as Junior development), crossing Euopean DNA with Pacific Island and/or Aboriginal DNA produces superb physical specimens.

Folou, Hodges, Hunt, Inglis etc.. et.. etc...etc..

According to the super league apologists, he shouldnt be playing. Hes too young. He wont be able to take the hits. He should be blooded gently etc etc.

Of course junior development plays a huge part but the building blocks are there right from day one. The fact that union can't develop it in the manner that league can doesn't detract from that fact.

The thing is we have big wraps on Callum Watkins at Leeds Rhinos, and rightly so because he's a huge prospect. However when you compare Watkins with Idris he's way behind.

Idris is bigger, heavier, looks stronger, faster and has comparable handling skills. Idris has already cemented his place in the Bulldogs team whereas Watkins is just breaking through.

After one game, you have summised this how?
