Wells busting to get in the guts

DANIEL Wells found himself taking an envious peep sideways at Brett Deledio as the Australians bonded for battle with the Irish.
At 18, Deledio has the size and swagger of a star. Wells only wishes it had come so naturally for him.
"I said to Brett, `You've got great size and strength already'. I told him he will be like Chris Judd," Wells said.
"He's got that touch of arrogance, too, which people need."
Wells now has the confidence, if not the arrogance, to take a significant step next year. But the exciting Kangaroo is still hard at work on getting his body right.
Unlike Deledio, chiselled and cut as if produced in an AFL cloning lab, Wells at first struggled to put on weight. Now, he fears he lost some zip this year coming to grips carrying extra kilos.
