Matt Dwarford

It wasnt a "sighting" butterfingers. I have actually socialised and conversed with the bloke on more than a number of occasions, and have actually talked to him about the pitfalls of being tall. So you take your hundreds of hours of footage, and your team photos and continue to fantasise that this puts you in a good position to guage someones height. Cause it doesnt.

For the record I am exactly the same height as Keithy Galloway. Im not going to go into how I know this, cause its weird, but I know im taller than Mason. Allright. And I know my own height. Anyway, back to your hours of footage son. This is a stupid conversation.

lol lol!

So Keith Galloway is really 191cm and Mason shorter. You're trying to shrink everyone in the NRL by 2 inches because you measured yourself incorrectly.

191cm isn't even that tall....not tall enough to "discuss the pitfalls of being tall" about.

Rob Burrow is the tiny bloke from Leeds. Eorl Crabtree at Huddersfield is massiveeee.

 

[Miller was a legend]

lol lol!

I can settle this. mason's listed height was probably including his afro

Holo Tongo in Wests Tigers U20's squad is listed as 197cm and 116kg

 

[jason taylor]

Manakofoa is pretty big.

 

[mongoose]

brad drew for shortest arms and neck.

Shirvo would be a shoe in for having the biggest in the league, if someone gave him a run.

 

[Pumba]

Isn't Charlie Leaeno the heaviest? I know he used to be listed 120something, and he's the only player I can think of who is actually LISTED over 120. I'm sure others play at over 120 though.

Danny Wicks - 126kg.

 

[Brimmer]

Lachlan Coote is a tiny fella too, even for his age.

 

[dogz08]

mark tookey was massive, not tall but f*ck he was a unit..

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Danny Wicks - 126kg.

Still LISTED at 115kg

Mason is still definitely taller than the likes of Folau and Inglis, if he's really 190cm how tall does that make them?

Inglis and Folau are just scraping 6' I reckon, Thurston maybe 5'6" :roll:

That was at the start of the year, reliably weighed at 125kg last week.

Don't trust the Knights to update their website more than once a year either actually, Wicks is listed as a five-eighth there too lol

I believe you but I clearly said I was talking listed weights

There are probably plenty of big blokes in the comp heavier than their listed weights

In that kangaroos photo, Willie looks the same height as Semenreceiver and whoever the player on the far right is, especially when you consider that Petero is bald whereas Mason has a couple of inches worth of hair in that pic.

 

[Jono078]

Cameron Ciraldo is 197cm I think.

Tilse is easily the tallest.

Biggest in weight would be hard to argue against Danny Wicks.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Disagree, Willie is definitely tallest in both photos (albeit not by much, of course)...him and Civoniceva both have similar close cropped hairstyles, Willie just has a bigger head.

The player on the far right is Brent Kite, who also looks taller than Civoniceva in the other pic. Kite is listed 190cm and Petero 193cm, I think it would be fair to say that Kite is a solid 193cm since he also looks taller than 195cm listed Inglis (who NEVER looks that tall) and 195cm Folau.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

If you look at that top photo, Willie's torso is clearly higher than Civoniceva's at every point and his shoulders are also higher, but you can see that Mason is leaning forward and down with his head while Petero is looking to the heavens. The top of their heads are at a similar position but you can tell Willie is taller. Also in the other pic he is miles taller.

(yes I know this might be regarded as an inane discussion, but I didn't start the thread ffs)

*Blatant Namedrop number 1* Sirro Raldo is taller than Mase, but not near 2 metres. Dude is very good friends with my brother and spent plenty of time in our family home over the years.

So Keith Galloway is really 191cm and Mason shorter. You're trying to shrink everyone in the NRL by 2 inches because you measured yourself incorrectly.

I didnt measure myself incorrectly you imbecile. Its not a hard task. Im not trying to shrink anyone. I reckon all of the height measurements of the players are embellished (Hell, they do it in Basketball, and those guys are f**king TALL). Apart from the aforementioned tall guys, most NRL players are actually quite short. (Warning, more name dropping here) I recently attended a sharks function and Kimmorley, Gallen, Bird and Ricky Stuart were all there and its quite amazing how bloody short most of them are. Jake Selmes, David Simmoms and Fraser Anderson are the tallest Sharkies and theyd be lucky to be over 6 foot.

191cm isn't even that tall....not tall enough to "discuss the pitfalls of being tall" about.

Yes it is.
Go and get a tape measure out. Mark 191cm on the wall and have a look. Imagine being above that height and then try and have a shower in an ordinary shower, sit in an economy seat on a plane, chop vegetables at a standard height counter etc etc.
