A quick Google tells me that shorty Farrell is the same height as possibly the best front rower the game has ever seen.
Shane Webke.
Tiger Trots
Back to the drawing board

And to think the one eyed loiner could only think of 1 other player who was a "similar size". Convenient that he just so happened to play for Leeds.
Pretty insular that lot

| Quote Bovrick="Bovrick"I was under the impression that he was mimicking the reductio ad absurdum you presented over strength, with size.
I think the point was that [iyou[/i ignored compensatory virtues; ie Farrell makes up for his lack of height with strength, and presumably as he ages he'll match the likes of Gallen and Watmough too in size. He also makes up for it with good positioning, workrate, vision, skill etc..'"
Well spotted! 
You'd have thought Einstein would have picked up on it?
As for the rest of you highlighting forwards of a "smaller" nature who were/have been world class, cheers for saving me the job of embarrassing him, it will save my tiny brain from having to. |

Dear me. The attack of the inbred intelligentsia. Like being assaulted by a dead sheep. So perceptive you can't even fathom which team I favour or where I live.
Shane Webke, the best front rower ever? Better than Lee Mossop? At 17.5 stones the same size as the ginger giant. |

| Quote tigertot="tigertot"I know this is probably a bit much for your little brain to comprehend (you might want to ask your physics teacher), RL forward play is about power - speed, strength & weight combined. Farrell is a great club player who might develop into an international player, he has all the qualities apart from size.
What do the following world class players have in common?
A Farrell, Scully, Sam Burgess, Betts, Ellis, Morley?
The only other player I could think of in the L Farrell mould is JJB, another great club player & fringe international but not world class. Andy Platt is the same height as Farrell but developed into one of the best props in the world at well over 16 stones.'"
You might be able take this in your pee brain , your speaking !!! |

It's only two games in, but I've been encouraged by the combination of him and Blake Green. Green is a smart player and Farrell will thank him for some of the smart plays he makes to put Faz into space. Likewise the lines that Faz runs are top draw.

The second rule of arguing on the internet is.
Once your argument is proven invalid. Attack the spelling/grammer of the opposing persons argument. |

And refuse to acknowledge the examples given which suggest that size is not necessarily a key factor even among rugby league forwards. |
