Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 2593799, member: 8190"] Webcke, without sounding like I'm insulting the great man, had the mind of a front rower. Run hard, run straight, relentlessly. But that also suited the era. Now you need to ball-play a little. offloads + steps etc, which is what locks did a little more. A guy like Webcke dominated the pre-wrestle game that only used mostly 1 or 2 defenders. Also with giants like the Burgii and fair number of wingers and centres (Vidot for example) around now, Webcke would not be considered one of the 'big men', hence why guys like Moose and Dodds (the same size as Webcke) are thought of being better at Lock as they aren't 6ft 5 and 120kg [SIZE=1] Disclaimer: I realise there are A LOT of people bigger than the guys I named that played 2nd row/Lock i.e. Miles, Carlaw, Tunza, Thaiday, Parker(ish) and so on.
