Martin Tapau - Rising star

Sorry to sing his praises YET AGAIN. But this kid is one of, if not the best prop in the NYC and is a true rising star. He averages something like 28 tackles a match, always makes 16 runs, 150 meters... He is so so skilful, some of his offloads are SBW-like. He has good footwork and when I met him for the first time, I couldn't believe the size of his arms. He is huge but he's only 19.

Check out his stats tonight against the Raiders:

26 runs, 205 meters, 23 tackles, 1 offload, 0 errors, 0 missed tackles.

These are the kinds of stats he pulls weekly (maybe not the runs, however in previous weeks he hasn't played 80 and tonight I'm sure he did.) I realise he isn't playing against men, however the sings are there.

I'm not saying he's going to break into the NRL and be the best thing to grace the field, but I can't remember seeing so much potential in a prop for a long time.
