Lets be honest.. Rugby league is a relatively low skilled sport compared to alot out there.

if you're big, strong and fast, you can have a fair crack at being a professional rugby player.

There are plenty of SL players plying their trade who's skill set can best be described as 'big, strong and daft'.

It's not like cricket, golf, boxing or football (although the way football is going you could make a similar argument). You cant just pick those sports up at 14/15 and sign professional contracts 2/3 years later.

You do get your Mylers, Gouldings, Longs' coming through now and again. But these players are coming from a strong RL background and have been almost bred to play RL from an early age.

The reality is the majority of your smaller players that might might be the next Briers are off playing other sports they are good at...
