Quote: Andy Gilder "Union demands - in the front five at least - very specialised body shapes.
Squat little balls of muscle in the front row who are expected to trundle from ruck to ruck and then work hard in the scrums and lineouts. Freaks of nature in the second row who look more like they should be on an NBA basketball court, specifically designed to generate power in the scrums but with athleticism and good hands for the lineouts.
The closest thing to rugby league players are probably the back-rowers and outside backs, hence the reason that's where most league converts end up.
Part of the reason why they are two very different sports.'"
You're being too kind!
