I knock it's a stretch and he'll probably retire at second row but Peacock looked like him when he started playing prop.

I haven't got the stats but I reckon Peacock is a much bigger man.

Think it's worth remembering that Kirmond started life as a winger and imho has always been a bit lightweight even in the back row.

4 inches taller and half a stone heavier - and an altogether different player; Christ knows what a season at prop would do to Kirmo - but I wouldn't want it on my conscience.

It was just a passing comment.
The way we play we need big robust props so of course he wouldn't do it now but not all props are built that way.

One of Tyler Randals pals maybe?

Not seen anything of him since he played for the Eels (2015) he had an excellent season then though

A quick Wikipedia check says that he was at the Newcastle Knights in 2016 but was involved in a serious car accident in January 2017. After recovery 2017 was spent playing for the Newcastle reserve side getting back to fitness until he broke his leg in July 2017. 48 NRL appearances in three seasons.
Assuming he's back to fitness could be a Wakey type signing, a young bloke (23) with something to prove.

That's last time I saw him play, saying that didn't have Premier Sports in 2016 so makes sense. I remember him going to be the next big thing for Parramatta and he's a huge wrecking ball of a forward, with a decent offload. If there's anything in this I hope he's gotten over his injuries because there's no doubt there's massive potential there, like was seen in his first ciouple of years in the NRL.
