And depending upon technique and bulk can also help to go 'over the top' in the tackle more and find the front quickly.

He can slam dunk. Seriously I don't think because someone is taller makes them able to sling out an offload better than some who is slightly smaller. More to do with strength, power and technique.

I would think you will have a fair bit of him, playing against yourselves, on SKY. Not the signing I think many of you guys was hoping for.

To be honest, I think that all of those attributes are more to do with technique, strength and general ability. I cannot think of any reason why height would be something to consider when signing a forward, especially a prop forward.

I remember Sharp saying something similar about Cusack, enough said.

It's alot harder to 'wrap up' a taller bloke, making the chances for an offload are higher (obviously they need the skill and vision too).

The point of impact is also higher too, meaning they are more likely to go over the top and land on their fronts, allowing a quick ptb (they need the strength for this too).

I don't think it would necessarily be something the coaching staff looked for when making signing a prop, but it definately adds an extra element to the side. Shorter blokes have their attributes too.

Short kick offs!

Lynch and Moa are both quality but i dont think Ogre is that good anymore.

For a slimmer player greeny is a powerful forward, and i know its a different class in SL then u20's, but greeny has been performing very well.

He's a good lad and will always give 100% but I highly doubt he'll be more than average at prop or 2nd row.

He's a slimmer player, but part of that is due to his height. He's very tall, and so he still carries the weight of a prop forward despite looking slimmer.

The hanger is over there,your coat is still on it.


Must admit I don`t know a lot about him,will have to wait and see what occurs.
