Kevin Walters will unleash a teenager believed to be the tallest player in NRL history on Thursday night.
While his 120kg frame - with which he has run for 105m and almost three tackle busts a game this year - will capture attention, Walters said he would not be piling pressure on ‘Big Ben’ to be the enforcer off the pine., confidence was high they could continue working as a unit without Haas.“We were meant to be keeping that quiet,” Walters said slyly when asked about Te Kura’s try-scoring prowess.
“He’s a bit taller than most people, so that brings a bit of attention towards him, but he’s a footballer, certainly. I’m noticing how hard he is to handle, so we expect that to transition into the NRL.“He’ll be fine, we have a lot of faith and confidence . It’s been three years he’s been in our system, and I feel he’s maturing enough now to be ready to handle the NRL and what it provides.
