( Stats from Rugby League week )

Interesting when you look at the 4 lightest packs .

 

[byso]

Good stats....look like were somewere in the middle

 

[Fluffy]

USeless stats unless you know who it includes.

is our with dunley or randall or willo at hooker??

Who are our starting props - king, kite, hecks or lulu??

And it doesnt take into account the bench

 

[Canteen Worker]

It is not such a big issue in League. The scrums are not really contested and apart from this what is the issue?

We could put Mark Tookey and Grant Woden in the Manly pack and we would be up near the top - but would our pack be better.

I know that Harry Bath always said 'A good big pack will always beat a good little pack' but I am not sure that this is relevant in todays game as much - with interchange and a more mobile style of forward.

Spot on CW. That still didn't stop Roy Masters gushing on a heap of crap on this subject a week ago.

 

[Canteen Worker]

If Manly has a hooker like Dunley and Parra have a hooker like Riddell that makes up the difference between us and them. Most packs need a contrast between the mobile and light on their feet, nippy player and the big power forward and the rangy and fast wider runner. As long as the pack complements each other, defends well together and can still make it out of their own territory there is no reall issue.

Dogs are third lightest yet they were making 70-80 metres a set in contrast to the bigger St G pack that was making about 30 m a set for most of the first half!!!

swap harris for watmough and we are towards the lighter end

 

[PEPSI]

the dogs at the bottom of that list shows it for what it is, we have been thionking all week that we will smash the sharks in the forwards this weekend yet they have a heavier pack!

i may be wrong, but mayby abilty comes into the equation! !amazed

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

O'Meley is a good example of skill over size - he would be close to being the smallest prop going around but close to being the best going around.

 

[Fluffy]

yeah he only packs in at about 100.

but then again mason is one of the biggest second rowers

 

[fLIP]

Fat blokes run slower.
