I meant about Dixon still being in SL in a few years....I just conveyed it badly. Dixon is 5'7"...he doesn't even tower over Rob Burrows and he has regularly been a route to points for the opposition outside backs. Nobody doubts his strike rate, which is outstanding.....but the modern RL player either needs more to his game, or a team that can defend for him.


Hard to say about the impact a young Jason Robinson would have on the game of RL today, but I for one believe the game we have now in 2013 is bigger, stronger and faster than it was back on 1999/2000.

Charley's good but Ryan Hall is number 1 for mine. He has it all.

I'm giving this short shrift. Robinson was not only lightning quick, he was strong and he could tackle. You're talking out of your backside.

Kyle Eastmond is 2 inches shorter than Kieran and has seemed to do OK in the modern game.

...so the game isn't bigger and faster now than it was 13 years ago?

The idea of comparing past with present players is rather silly in that they developed and played under different conditions. If a bull had tits it would be a cow. But it doesn't, and Robinson doesn't play now. You are, to quote Captain Mainwaring, "in the realms of fantasy"

I may well be....
