Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3099125, member: 9853"] There were a couple of pieces that Miford, and Bowen before him, lack by the nature of their size. In Rugby Union you can somewhat get away with hiding a short guy at fullback, because his remit is to gather the ball and kick it out on the full to a round of applause. In League, not so much. You're more likely to be found out as the last line of defence, and you also need to be able to jump. In both codes, you have to accept being pummelled in the process. Suffice to say, it's a nightmare. Having played there in both codes, and being neither tall nor a great defender, I felt like a fraud in League. It was much easier to hide my less than stellar defence at 5/8th. In union, I could go an entire game without having to tackle some enormous fucker running at me full belt. In league, it would happen constantly but there were always two other players to help put them on the deck. I can see why Milford would prefer it in the halves. [/QUOTE]
