Land of giants

1978

Based on the Big League mag, I count 17 of Manly's top 30 who are over 100kg, some well over.

If Walker and Garrick each put on 2kgs, we'd be 19 out of 30.

Can anyone recall a Manly roster with this much size?

Does any other team have a bigger roster by size / height?

By my count, 14 out of our likely starting 17 are 98kg or over (only DCE, Levi and Croker under that).

You'd have to go back to the Bozo days of Cleal/Close in our centres ... Ribot on wing... to find a bigger backline

Size is not everything, but big, powerful teams tend to win the big games.
 
Which is why RL needs to reduce each team to 12 players, or increase the size of the field.
It's just too congested out there.
