What position did/do you play?

[Tip]

I played Hooker.

Although no coaches ever realized the potential and skillset I bring to the 15 jersey.

Funnily enough, my twin brother played 15, and I played hooker. He often complained about never being able to put shots on.

So yeah, I spent a great time growing up in club footy covering at the back

And doing the ol' Karmichael Hunt. Catch ball. Run hard, knee's high and Samoan sidestep into the smallest man on the kickchase.

Sorry I've been busy building things with iron and brawn. And no shortage of skill.

You were saying?

I'm not sure what structural integrity jellied-meat would bring to anything you built, O Awesome One.

I'm a small flanker in the body of a fat winger.

You got eaten by Rupeni Caucaunibuca?

Rust?

I actually didn't know they don't term them that anymore..what do they call them - 'one centre' and 'the other centre'?

Oh,these young blokes,KOB!I am with you thinking they still called them inside and outside centre in league.I was never quite quick enough or big enough to play in the centres.I used to play rugby on Saturdays and league on Sundays(in the old Business Houses comp),mostly at half(quick enough over a short distance).

They just play either side now. Second rowers actually play more like an inside centre, but either side of the field.

Rust?

We will see. It's around a pool so maybe

Halfback but always wanted to run the cutter like Mertz.

Building with Iron

and Brawn

?

There are some who may struggle to understand how you could build anything with that, with or without skill.

i started as a 5/8 at school, but played fullback in the underage and shoolboy rep sides. played most of my senior club and rep rugby as an inside centre, Geoff "Bunter" Shaw model. very occasionally had a run as a breakaway at club level. always played as the THP in 7's. position names bely my age

Its hard for the little people to keep up.

Very telling to why GAGR doesn't appreciate 7s....too many props!

Went to a country school with 25 kids so we paired up with another school to play league. Everyone in this team played the same position which was speed bump / road kill.
From year 5 I went to boarding school and after about 3 training sessions was shifted into hooker from wing. Not enough speed or fast twitch muscles.
From then on it was always front row. Prop / Hooker through school and then hooker only after school.

There is definitely one poster on here who I played with at University.

 

[SevensPhD]

I ran a 10.7 100meters - so spent a lifetime (until age 37) stranded on the wing with those ball-hogging centres! Argh!

Which is why I loved 7s, got to play every position except scrumhalf.

 

[Tex]

Mainly 5/8 and inside centre at high school, but to be honest I was an openside at heart. Loved the tackle and contact elements of rugby more than the passing and game management.

Has there ever been a GAGR XV put together?

Too many props.

 

[Bairdy]

Too many props.

or to view it as a positive, a GAGR XXIII would have huge depth, and foster competition among the wiseheads in the front row

 

[Ruggo]

Too many props.

Forget a putting together a first 15 then. We should be aiming for world domination.
