| Going on about size I recall the time Paleasina [sp broke free and was charging towards the Bradford line. Dave Halley, not the biggest bloke to ever pull on a Bulls shirt, stood his ground. Most people expected the big forward to run straight over him but Halley stopped him dead.
After seeing that I have to agree with the technique over size arguement when it comes to tackling.

| Quote tigertot="tigertot"I've not seen Southernwood but am surprised if he is 5'9" & 70kg. He would be significantly taller than his dad or uncle & fair less stocky. IIRC his dad would have been playing regularly for Cas by his age. Tomkins must be the skinniest kid in SL for some time & he has done ok, Southernwood would struggle to be 9kg lighter. Get him in. Tackling for a HB is all about technique, not size.'"
Just cos Dad was a shortar5e doesn't mean his lad will be.
For the record I'm happy to put my trust in people who've actaully seen Cain Southernwood rather than Roy or Graham!

| Let's hope if he actually plays he doesn't just sit on the bench for 75 minutes!!.....

| It is great news that Southernwood is lined up for a debut and probably sensible that he'll likely be on the bench. I do also hope he gets plent of game time and not the typical McNamara 5 mins.
I would also like to see Kopczak get a little longer period on the park, it's all well hoping he imposes himself but he also rarely gets a decent period on the pitch in order to do so. Substitute usage is an area that needs drastic improvement for mine.

Yes a phased approach can give him some vital experience.
