Gee I hope Paddy's health is good irrespective if he plays again or not. His parents must lay awake at night worrying themselves sick.

They should have tried him as a centre half back

He would still receive bumps as bad as the JLT one.

Have always thought this, but unfortunately it all seems a long shot now

Montagna and Dal always talked about this on Fox at the back end of the 2018 season. Not Richo or anyone else on his spud match committee though - clearly knew better. What a giant waste

umm as a forward you mostly get to dictate where the ball is going to go
As a back it means if you have to stand under the pack that is coming bearing down on top of you then thats what you get paid to do
But at least we wouldnt be having a discussion about should we keep him on our list
he'd be dead by now

You can have the ball put on your head as a forward or as a defender... it’s what KPPers do, contest for marks.

But for sheer amount of contact from behind, forwards are crunched by defenders more often.
