[QUOTE="Lancashire Nick, post: 1104976, member: 73890"] There are a few specialised positions ..... Props generally are big brutes, to take the ball up and make the hard yards. Hookers need to be a good passer to play the Dummy Half role, and have speed to run if opportunity arises. Scrum-Half and Stand-Off run the game, and need a full set of running, handling and kicking skills. Full-Backs and Wingers are quick, good under the high ball ....... However, because there are no lineouts, rucks, mauls, and contested scrums, every player has to do the basics well; run, tackle, pass, so there is an element of every player morphing towards a standard shape. In RU terms, if every RL player could be like a Jonah Lomu who could tackle. [/QUOTE]
