He's too short to play at half-back, he doesn't take the ball to the line, he's scared, I don't blame him, the guy we should be signing is Samsoni Langi, the Tongan five-eighth, he's 20, he's not gonna get into the Roosters team this year. I would never pick a half-back under 178cm anymore, and only then if he's quite stocky, like Cooper Cronk, though Gareth Widdop is down as 175cm, Chase 173, I'm sure Widdop has blocks in his boots, he seems a bit taller than that. Anyway, Widdop is a better all-round player.

And need to teach Theo Fages how to take the ball to the line and protect yourself after the pass/kick, like Cherry-Evans. He's not too dissimilar in shape to the Manly-Warringah halfback.

Total rubbish that mate. Your not red league in disguise are you.

No. But why was he let go by St.George Illawarra? Too small, so why should we buy him? Tim Smith is top-drawer. There was no need to sign Rangi, waste of money, could have seen how Fages went with Smith. Or had a look at the WC first, and we saw a future NRL five-eighth in Langi, he's better than Chase, much more effective IMO.

Your not Theo's mum or dad are you, I can't believe what I'm reading, Chase is class.

From what i have heard , we mite i say mite, have a no 9 lined up.

Fell out with his coach??? the rumor mill has it, we await the confirmation.

Hope so mate we need a better 9 than Tommy Lee, yet he might prove us all wrong we'll have to wait and see.

WUM

Can't believe people have actually bitten

Maybe because I mean it, Chase should be a number nine.

Tommy Lee is still only 25, so obviously must be given a go there, hope he proves us wrong and he's a late bloomer. Remember he was supposed to be the next England halfback, hahaha.

Anyway, no I'm not related to Theo, but the spins is obviously so important and I'm not a fan of Chase, as you can tell. The best halves pairing in the world are D Cherry-Evans and K Foran and they're both 180cm plus.

Radney 'Rodney' Bowker. Tall as . Shite.

Height has nothing to do with anything mate what's the obsession with height, and why in centremeters, why don't you say just over six feet tall.

Yes but Bowker was 188 centimetres which is an even number hense him being crap, am I right Oz.

We're European, centimetres is the future, and it's more polite when using height about short people, anyway, it's peoples obsession with 6 feet that's the problem, not me wanting both out halves to be at least 178cm. But I would take Widdop who as I said is 175.

Congratulations OzWelsh quickest block in history.

You've raised the bar to new levels with your idiocy, it must be at least 182cm.

If you use millimetres they seem even taller. Like putting a white shirt on a prop forward. Oh no, that's fatter isn't it?

"Idiocy"? Really? Bit far?

Where's Av It during this conversation? I thought he would have been sticking up for the vertically challenged

never heard so much tripe in my life size means nothing if you have heart, huddersfield won the league and have new man of steel and guess what ozwelsh, brough is 1.73m, maybe this is why huddersfield lost in the play offs, get in touch with anderson and say play brough at hooker hes too small. Joker

He was a hooker.It was Nathan Brown who changed his position to 'five eighth' to join Jamie Soward in the halves.
I don't think Jamie Soward would fit into your strict physical dimensions criteria unless it is cm's in width.

Yeah lets move Rangi to hooker because he's too small and dosen't take the line on. Don't talk sh*t you melon.

Clearly suffering from small man syndrome



I though have to agree that height means very little when talking about halves and hooker it is more physical bulk and intelligence.

I can't quite work out if this thread was a poor attempt at trolling, or written by someone who's on Crystal Meth. Or both.

Size in sport is important. Preston Campbell was moved to fullback, Chris Anderson played him at nine.

Rat is 173cm also, but we'll see if he takes the ball to the line close to the ruck instead of Chase, condensing the defensive line, with Chase attacking more in the fullback role. Maybe this is what Penrith did in 2003.
