Quote: WelshRL&RUwatcher "It's more in hope, there are 44 former RL players currently suing the sport over neglect in not protecting their brains sufficiently, I wouldn't pick a player under 6" to play in the halves, taking the ball to the line. Short players should only be considered for the No.9 role from now on IMO, it would be a dereliction of duty by the coach to put him anywhere else, unless he's Cooper Cronk or Andrew Johns, so obviously I'm talking about the exceptions, so the top 1% of the top 1%. Eastmond is good but, one he's shorter than Cronk and he's not as good in any case.'"
Really ??
What effect do you think making 40+ tackles a game has in relation to contact with the head.
Incidentally, you mention 44 former RL players suing the sport.
Are they suing RL or RU and what position did they play in both sports.
Half backs need speed, agility and balance, plus ball skills and reading of the game.
The height of the player makes relatively little difference.
Do you want your 6ft player (I'm assuming that you didn't mean 6 inches
) to be skinny or, should you also put a minimum weight in the criteria too.
