Quote tigertot="tigertot"Fair enough, I agree Whatmough & Gillmeister are examples of world class palyers of a similar size to Farrell. I was thinking of British examples of world class back rows & couldn't come up with one. No-one else has yet. My point from the start, if some had bothered to read the thread, was that though I agree Farrell is a cracking club player he is too light to be international class & possibly he will develop into an Andy Platt type prop. So the genius suggesting a 17.5 stone front row is currently comparable looks as daft as he does suggesting I am a Loiner. At no point have I intended to be disrespectful to Farrell. It was a number of inbred hillbillies starting the insults, insecure when someone not from these parts tries to debate.'"
Genuine question, why do you have to think of British players his size that are/have been world class?
You acknowledge players his build can be world class so why does it matter where that are from?
Power is to do with speed x strength. If Faz puts on significant weight he would sacrifice his ability to generate speed. His strength has been highlighted.
He also has a first class mental approach to the game ie work ethic and intelligent lines of running.
If as you freely admit lads a similar size to him can be world class, why would the fact he is British affect this potential?
