Is there any current NRL player with a comparable build to this guy?

His frame was close to the most perfect for the second row.
SBW comes to mind

Yeah. He had that aggression to his game.
Ran awesome lines and a hard hitter.
I was shattered for him.
Would have made NSW easily

At one point in time we had the best second rower in the world (Ellis) and arguably the most promising one (Dwyer).
He would still be playing now and in his prime too! What a beast he is. I remember Sheens comparing him to Clyde.
Will he ever get use of his right arm again? Such a sad story

In 2009 Benji had Ellis, Lawrence and Tuiaki on his left, Dwyer and an in-form Ayshford on his right.
Then within 3 years Tuiaki career over, Dwyer career over, Ellis returns to England, Lawrence dislocates his hips / hamstring issues and loses his centre strike ability. Ayshford loses his form.
Such a devastating attack we had at times - power, speed and hole-running, and essentially half that strike rubbed out through serious injury.

Great whole runner. Tragedy.

Yeah I think Dwyer was thicker /more solid… Close though.
Don't see the Tariq comparison. Dwyer looked like he was made of granite...

Heart breaking when you break it down like that.
Not to mention Moltzen before he got broken.
Rob Lui was carving up too. Then he bashed his Mrs.

After Dwyer's debut I made the call that he was a once in a generation player. I still stand by that call. Was gutted about what happened to him and Tui.

Remember his hit on Hargreaves, in the 2010 semi, hit of the century.

It's not a great comparison But Simon's injury where his nerves were crushed were similar to what happened when cricketer Phil Hughes was struck in the neck by a fast ball
Miss Barb…
Cruel way to end a career...
