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

What a strange drift. On centres, in the NRL the best are generally very big guys. That's why Bennett took one look at the stick thin Percival and didn't pick him. SL outside backs are generally smaller than the NRL, and way less strong for their size. Look at Barba - he's not massive but he plays like Tarzan compared to some SL full backs.

Barba is a turnstyle.

Not with the ball he's not.

Shaun Lunt

Shaun is 5’11”

5'11" is the new 6'0".

What's an inch? a lot nearer 6' that 5' and if quality is anything to go by then perhaps more teams should be developing taller no9s

5' 7" is also closer to 6' than 5' so does that mean Paul McShane is on the big boys list too now?

There is no doubt that players in most positions are bigger now than they used to be, but it's not a necessity. A good little un will always beat an average big un as the saying goes...

Well 5ft 10" is just one inch is less than your 5ft 11" and that is exactly the height of Golding who you poo pooed as too small.
