Watching James Graham interviewing George Burgess in his latest YouTube interview, George mentions that this new six again rule is killing the big guys and this isn't the game for them any longer.
I think fit, mobile, athletic forwards are the future over size.
so warrington have been doing undersized athletic forwards for years, and we've been bullied. a lot of our fans have lauded your pack, whenever you were on sky and satae and sao had a good game, except when you've been getting skittled with the same players.
i dont know if there's a right or wrong method, but i know we've got big bodies up front now and seem a million miles better than at any point since 2013. and that was smith recruiting props that aren't as big.

HOWEVER
having big men doesnt mean sod all if they're not prepared to put a shift in.
