[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 351827, member: 20605"] The AB selectors saw Isaac Ross as a backup and eventual replacement for Brad Thorn, but he spends too much time out in the back-line doing the "Ali Williams" role. They sent him back to domestic rugby to "bulk up" and "build strength". There is no doubt that Ross had (at that time) immense physical strength in his arms, but not the body to go with it; a similar sort of physique to that of Norm Maxwell if you remember him. Its the type of physique that can have you becoming injury prone in the long run, as the weaker parts of your body break because they cannot cope with what you are doing with the stronger parts.
