The scorecard
Power
9/10
Stiff shaft. Almost nothing lost in transfer.
Reception
6/10
Punishing on a bad ball. Needs hands.
Reverse
9/10
Quickest here out of a tackle.
Aerials
7/10
Least rake here. Smaller target overhead.
Feel
8/10
Head-heavy in the shop, quick in play.
The verdict
Stiff and quick out of a tackle. Defenders get real value; a first-season player will spend the winter fighting the reception.
Buy it if
- You play at the back
- You win the ball in tackles
- You want stiffness over forgiveness
Skip it if
- It is your first season
- You take the drag flicks
- You want an easy reception
