[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 618440, member: 67273"] Tight 5 forwards will always mature at an older age as they are the only players who rely on strength more than power. Most guys don't reach their peak strength until they are into their late thirties or early fourties. The older tight 5 guys don't need to spend all that much time in the gym because their strength is relatively easy to maintain. If a lock gets to 34 and can still hack it, the chances are that he can go on for another 3 to 4 years. [/QUOTE]
