Like I say, props in Union are fatties who are designed to push. He'll never have met anyone like Ferriol before.

Make your mind up.

There is no contradiction in what I say. I merely mentioned that Union back rowers on average are bigger or harder than Ferriol. There are league players that are too.

Oh and Gethin Jenkins would match any prop in league I've seen so far.

LOL not on match fitness. RU players spend halt the time rolling around on the floor. The rest of the time it's like watching rugby tennis.

I assume you are not familiar with Gethin. He is one of the fittest players in the whole Ospreys and Wales squads let alone just the forwards. According to the fitness guys his stats are unbelievable. He may be a prop but he plays like a flanker.

This thread is hilarious. People actually believe union players in any postion are bigger and harder than RL players!! Brilliant.

why.?

its obvious there are good players in RL and union, there are fit players in rl and union and hard players in both rl and union.?

they are not better than one or other. the bad and good players in either code.

i just dont get it i like both sports ... yet you league lot keep having a pop at union. yet us dual coders or union fans dont give a flying poop.!! it really makes me laugh.

it reminds me of small mans syndrome

League players have to be fitter as it's a faster game with the ball in play a lot, lot longer

Re: Gareth Thomas be warned! : Mon Mar 22, 2010 7:21 am  

Yes most League players are fitter than their Union equivalents, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are harder. Nothing that six weeks doing aerobic training in the gym wouldn't even out.

The gym cannot get you ready.....game time with an awesome off season is
