Why take our best ball playing forward and put him to prop leave him be.yes agreed there alot of coaches like a prop at 13 these days ie graham but more often than not its the prop moving to 13 not vice a versa.
Dont get this thing of lets play players out of postion cos they may do a decent job successful team tend to have players in there specialised postion

However we do need props and as it stands players will no doubt players will need to play out of postion at some point to cover the role as i may be wrong but do we onlhy have 4 specalised props in fifita arona green and tangata

I'm not sure why you are both pushing the point so hard.
I don't think anyone doubts that a good big one will always beat a good little one, but there are so many examples of big ones that coaches have trusted only to find that size is all they had.
I'd rather judge props on delivery first rather than size.

Smaller props just play a different role. If you are 5'10 you don't run at the line like Fifita and your work rate needs to be higher but there are plenty of examples of players who do that.
You can't go with all small props. You won't get out of your 10 metre area. But you can't go with all big either.

So I'd prefer to judge them on what they do and how it compliments the team rather than just judging on size.

Well, I'm not if it's me you mean, it's called a debate, this is a forum isn't it? What confuses you about that?

We don't use our props to get out of our 10 m area, it always seems to be the job of the 3/4's icon_smile.gif

That's a fair point.
In that case I change it to, we won't get over the advantage line in midfield.
