When you think that the ''Wild Bull of the pampas' was only 14 stone 6lbs he'd never have got a game!!!!!!

I have no idea if Bennion is good or not I was replying to the comment he's not the biggest.  I'm 5"10 and 14 stone, Bennion is 6"5 and 17.5 stone. To me as rugby players go that's about as big as they get. Kirk isn't the biggest build to be fair just very tall. Murray is bigger build wise.

I don't know what all the "sizewise" fuss is about. 

I'm the same height as you and heavier than Bennion - so what. In itself that doesn't make me a good or bad player.

Mind you, I am 84 years old.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Sunny why have you been asking for a big pack for the lat few years if size doesn't matter. Even the Ladies know it does 😉

Size does matter to get over the gain line. That's why Bent, despite all his effort, rarely makes the 10.

To put it simply ...

Big bodies draw  in tacklers ...only have to look at the impact Murray and lannon made  ..and also the fact the past few seasons the better teams have massive forwards ....you need them big bodies that can just crash over a line ....look at bent ...not the biggest ...immense in defence n absolute workhorse....can't break a tackke to save his life ...

Are we thinking that's the final squad? I still we need another prop and as someone else on here said, we lack a little sparkle. I do think we'll be lucky to get in the top six as the other clubs have also strengthen.

Oldham have spent a good bit and will do well this year, but I don't think it will be success they think it will be.

Vincent was a loose forward, not a prop.
