How the f**k do you go from a 5/8 to a prop?

It’s just a jump to the left.

Growth spurt ? Artie Beetson went from Centre to prop. Doesn't seem too outrageous at that age. Skills of smaller man ,size and strength of bigger man ....? Great !!!

Fifita was a winger originally

 

[Frenzy.]

Thank god for footy. I’ll be having a wander over for ball. Need to check out the 14.

Is he related to Brock?

So was Prior.

It's pretty common to invent a prop. If you have a guy with the right frame but not much bulk that can be worked on in the gym over a couple seasons. Sometimes the young ones just have a puberty spurt.

That's not what it sounds like

He's already a pretty big lad apparently.

 

[Ozzi_78]

He hit 111kg, natural position selection

Yeah. He's in the young ones category.

Luke Lewis was a scrawny winger when he started. Ended up one of the biggest and best back rowers of all time. Still looks fit enough to play too.

Played Origin as a winger I think.

Pretty sure your right mate. He was on one wing and the other Panthers winger on the other. Also named Luke, i can't remember his last name though

Rooney

Rooney

Thats him, thanks Bluey!

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Hearing plenty of examples of outside backs becoming forwards but the challenge is to find me a half that has transformed to a prop.

 

[chewsta]

Paul Gallen

 

[DJDL]

If I recall correctly.

 

[Ozzi_78]

If I recall correctly.

I had so many duplicates of that damn card.

Have a look at Jayze Tuigamala and my mates nephew Lachlan Araullo in the Matt’s cup. Jayze is a beast from my old junior club, Alexandria Rovers..

 

[Stake Removed]

I remember the time we changed Diamond from a backrower to a winger.
And he would throw up early in each game
