Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2811836, member: 8440"] Completely agree. I've said it before that piling on additional weight to a smaller framed player in order to compensate for defensive liabilities or to provide additional strength is always a bad move since it completely takes away from what they're good at. They don't have the body type to be able to use the additional weight. They're not going to suddenly be an unstoppable runner like Taumalolo. It doesn't make them a better defender, and in fact probably makes them worse anyway, having to carry more weight than they can. It also strips away their point of difference in attack and brings them down to a similar level to the rest of the field. The added weight thing only ever works on larger framed players who naturally have the size to be able to utilise the added weight, even if it means sacrificing some speed. Their taller frame still enables them to be a strong runner without taking much away from them ability wise. Milford's ideal playing weight was at the Raiders. He just seemed so much happier.
