Quote Bullseye="Bullseye"Both his tries needed a bit of scoring. He looked keen. His slight build hampered him a couple of times but overall he did ok. The miss on Broughton showed the difference between a kid who I think has only just gone full time and a player who's further on in development.'"
Is it me or have we become too used to big hulking backs?! I've noticed it mentioned a few times in various posts and I'm not sure whether it's just us or whether it's other clubs too when they introduce a smaller (some might say normal sized!) player. I know a player needs a certain amount of bulk and strength but I've thought before that we might take it a bit too.
I know a smaller player might struggle when it comes to big one on one hits, especially in defence, but at the end of the day if your technique is right you can still tackle a player! Get round his ankles - even the biggest player can't run without his legs!
I love seeing smaller, nippier players taking on and beating the big guys and it makes for a much better spectacle than having two sets of giants steamrolling each other.
