Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Cobblers. Billy Boston was a product of his era. Players across the board are bigger and stronger now than they've ever been. Eric Grothe was the most powerful winger of his time - he'd be 2-3 stone lighter than today's bigger wingers. And if yesterday's heroes bulked up, how effective would they be? Would Boston even be a back? He certainly wouldn't be in RL.'"
Boston did bulk up, he was already over 15 stone when he signed pro, Wigan put more muscle on him, despite his legendary scoring feats the opposition feared him for his crash tackling technique. Fast track him into the start of the Super League Era you are probably looking something similar to Vainkolo.
