Didn't Newlove play in the 90's/2000's?

The game isn't just about attacking - the centre has to be able to tackle effectively - not easy to tackle a 16 stone juggernaut when you only weight 12/13 stone and are 6" shorter.

Even hookers are 6" and most half backs are 5'10"+ this is the modern game - players are bigger and stronger with just as much skill. In the older days the game was much slower so the players had the time - look at old games and see how slow it was - these players would not have the time to play the way they did - Im sure they would have adapted.

Wow, Paul McShane must have grown a lot in his sleep last night...

I think Rob Burrow's stint at hooker has brought the average height down.

Name the 6" hookers or even the 6' ones for that matter.

if he is the best and a long way better than Golding, then we need to recruit a fullback, walker may come good but he is two years away from being good enough, showed that yesterdayl when he was on the field, nowhere to be seen for two of there trys and was left for dead by lineham, he has no pace whatsoever, the fact that last year Gareth Ellis tracked him down and tackled him in last years semis says a lot.

Daryl Clarke?
Roby is 5'11"
Parcell is 5'11"
Cameron Smith 5'11"

Do you need anymore?

Lyon is 6ft, Renouf was 5'11"

Jennings is a solid as most second row forwards he weighs 96kgs

Three out of a possible 24 in SL.

Just happened to be 3 of the best and the best of all time

Maybe but the don’t make the point you were trying to make

but none of them would have been considered a natural second row size or a natural second rower would they. they were always natural three quarters, Francis cumming was just shy of 6'2" and about 14st but you would never think of him as a second rower.

I disagree that current SL players are as skillful, and Burrow showed that height does not matter if your tackling technique is good

You only named one 6ft hooker. Please name some of the others please
