Standard Oz highlight package. Covers full back, wing & centre so could come in useful over the season if he impresses during his trial. Reminds me a bit of Delaney in that he has plenty of leg drive going forward & has a bit of pace.

I just wonder why things didn't work out for his move to Dull?

Quite. I was wondering whether his effectiveness in each position was affected by weight/conditioning. I'd hoped someone more knowledgable than myself could cast some light.

Don`t be silly Clearwing.
Look at Ryan Hall`s weight and he is a centre playing on the wing for now isn`t he?
Seriously I don`t think there is much difference weight wise between the likes of Delaney, JJB or Ablett compared to Watkins.

I'm not asking whether he weighs the same as other players playing in those positions. I'm wondering whether how well he plays in a given position is affected by his weight (or any other player for that matter). I read a piece by Usain Bolt's coach a while back who made the point that if Bolt weighed half a stone heavier, not only would he not have broken the world records he has, neither would he have even placed in the olympics. Obviously Bolt's is an extreme case because the margins are so fine but I did wonder whether conditioners in RL attempted to tweak players' weights on the basis of what roles they were being asked to perform.
Oh, and Hall's carrying far too much beef to be a decent winger icon_wink.gif

Anyway Hall would be much better in the SR so what do you know icon_wink.gif

If Ablett moved permanently to the centres I'd expect him to work as hard as possible on his footwork, as sometimes in defence he looks like a second row in the centres - i.e. a bit immobile. Other than that, I wouldn't have thought he'd need to do too much different, as he seems to be a good build for either position.
