The Meerkat

Except ever since that bloody Netflix doco now every wannabe Instafame chaser is trying to find their own and take it some piece of mirror or a dead hunk of fish.
Are you talking “My Octopus Teacher” ? …. It was a bloody awesome doco
 
Same dimensions and weight/size as Ruben Cotter. Their playing styles are different. I think Cotter throws himself around a lot more.
Weight and height is only one part of the equation. Cotter and Murray have exceptional acceleration/leg speed which manifests as power, allowing them to push through contact; this is not something Croker has. Radley has big shoulders and is very strong, again, not traits that Croker has. The three comparisons use their bodies in ways that work for lock forwards. Croker always looks uncomfortable in contact and would not make a good lock. That’s just my opinion.
 
That's my preference as a history and English teacher and was how I was told it should have been (long before the advent of the internet), if only because it allows me to tell students a little about how octopus comes from Greek while most taxonomic words come from Latin.

How is that going to help the little buggers when the asteroid is hurtling towards Earth?

May as well teach them poetry ...
