Too hard to keep getting up off the floor and no line out advantage But, unlike "the game for all sizes", if you're good enough you're big/small enough.

Futtocks Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Edrick Lee, another player who looks really tall because of his body shape. Only 6 foot 4, same as Joe Burgess.

Dunbar Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The Iro brothers - Tony on the wing and Kevin in the centre were a decent height.

Big by the standard of the day, but Kevin was 6 foot 2/3. I reckon this XIII would be mainly populated by modern-era players.

Mumby Magic Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 4 hours ago, Futtocks said: Well, it follows on logically from the other thread, right? First nomination - while he usually played in other positions, Bradford did, on at least one occasion (probably due to injuries), pick Karl Pryce at stand-off. I doubt there's been a taller one. To me wasnt regular there. Graeme Bradley was. 6ft 4 regular stand off. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
