Since when was Matt Sing a speedster (not for a few years, that's for sure). Manu Vatuvei is 110kg and he would have run away from him as well. Grothe was always going to score that try as soon as he got the ball.

I'd have to see hard stats to believe that. Grothe Senior was a big winger in his era, but I wouldn't think 10kg heavier than his son. Grothe Jr would be around the 90kg mark at bare minimum, meaning dad's fighting weight would have to be 100kg+.

I dont know about that.
Grothe Snr was alot more solid that his son, but Grothe has the height on him and Grothe Jnr is at least 93-95Kg, and i dont think Grothe Snr was 110.
