Message: [QUOTE="Brent81, post: 2635924, member: 8195"] Apparently I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to props, so I'll leave it to Peter Mulholland and Brian McClennan to make the point. "In the old days, Laurie Daley could play five-eighth, centre or lock, and Trent Barrett and Brad Fittler were the same," Mulholland said. "[U][B]But a lock these days is a middle player and we mistakenly think they are front-rowers. If something like Gallen playing in the front row in Origin works, then clubs emulate it, but to me a prop has a stature and a physical presence that a lock doesn't have[/B][/U]." Former Kiwis and Warriors coach Brian McClennan agrees. "I think that through State of Origin they started picking some really mobile props and they just aren't giving the big, younger ones a shot," he said. [/QUOTE]
