What position did you play?

@Snowy said in What position did you play?:

Didn't like lock much and still enjoyed more running ball in hand so moved myself to 8 when they made me captain. Complete abuse of power.

I always wanted to be an 8.

And I could have been good too, aside from the lack of athleticism, speed, ball skills and mongrel.

@MN5 Eight.

“Two to come”

I played one game at 8 for Prem reserves as a warm up back into prems after an injury. I loved it. Halfback was real Angy at me as I kept on 'pick and go-ing'

Rest of time was at lock/halfback/wing

Natural movement of positions!

Funny that this thread comes up, and Facebook reminds me it's 9 years today since I played my last competitive game

@nzzp had to be a TH with that pic😀

@mariner4life until I killed off FB I was always tempted to join the golden oldies crew that a lot of my ex team mates are in. But then I think about how much I enjoy not being injured and getting match fit... pffft ain't nobody got time for that. Still get a surge of adrenaline watching rugby and league though - especially for a big hit or a sick play.

@Paekakboyz I just play over 40s touch.

Olo Brown. Dead. Set. Legend. Interestingly first AB prop to hit 50 tests.

Straightest back in the game.

[Paekakboyz]

@mariner4life more than 40 seconds of touching!! Fucking stud!

@nzzp went up against him in his first year at Ponies. Preferred TH but was loose that day. Couldn't buckle the 19yr old straight outta MAGs.

Great story! How old were you then (dare I ask)?

My mother in law taught him at kindy ... no making prop jokes please

@nzzp was 22/23 at the time. Olo had alot of press about him in his last year at college. So I was rapt to have a crack. Was written up as a monster so I was surprised he was same size as me-5'11 17 odd stone. An absolute rock at scrum time.

I played everywhere in the backline.

Was fullback in my younger days, then moved to mainly to 9, but also a fair bit at 12.

Also played 1 game at hooker - lineouts were easy, but FUCK scrummaging.

Went out on top last year, winning the final whilehobbling around one good ankle. Just call me Richie.

[mikey07]

I currently play prop,Hooker,Loosie and F knows why lock I’m only 1.82 and also surprisingly Wing as I been told I’m the fastest in the team but being the good forward I am I’m absolutely lost in the backline in terms of positioning 😂
