Don't know, but just watching Leota and Fisher-Harris over the last couple of years, seems to be a model that works. Leota in particular has gone from strength to strength.
We've got plenty of 6'5" types, but our only shorter model is Jake who doesn't really have much leg speed these days.
I dont think there is a one size fits all.
For your JFH and Leota's I could counter with a Tapine, Tino or Haas.
Quality is just quality
Plus, JFH is 6'2

The only guy I can think of who fits the short prop mould is Alex Volkanovski. lol
Yeah fair enough. I guess we just need a little more quality. We're actually not too far off with our current props I think. And imagine how much better they'd look with a dynamic Cam Murray type backing them up?
Any way was just day dreaming, someone reminded me June 30 is a key roster moment, so we may yet have an annoucement or 2 still to come...
From this weeks, Foxsports reserves wrap.
"A few of the Roosters’ next generation forwards put in a lot of effort to try and get their side over the line. Naufahu Whyte finished with 251 metres — 109 post-contact — as well as seven tackle busts and 24 tackles with two misses"

I agree with Disco that quality is quality but I also think it’s about different forms of quality, which is why I like your idea. The term ‘balanced pack’ comes to mind. Having a variety of shapes and sizes makes it uncomfortable for the opposition and harder for coaches to construct game plans.Yeah fair enough. I guess we just need a little more quality.

Is it something he spoke about?I see you have been reading the coaching philosophy of the late Paul Green.
Yea, I remember an interview he did with Matty Johns from memory about his playing career, how he got into coaching and his philosophy of coaching. First time I had heard about setting up a team of many different body shapes.
I am sure he learnt it from somewhere else, but it was very interesting.

June 30 is coming. Once Origin 2 is over, expect the frenzy to begin.
