Played everywhere as a kid. After mod league mainly played five eighth/lock. Preferred lock/2nd row.

ha ... played before mini and mod league .. where it was 13 a side on the full field , kick from where you scored over the full posts .... started off as a hooker , ended up playing prop and centre when I hit 13 ... played a year at fullback ... was boring back there , only time you got to tackle was when 3 or 4 guys were running at you , all you could do was take out the ball carrier after he passed it. =(

Didn't have the vision for the halves.
I'm only 170cm tall and 60kgs, so rule out prop/back row.
Handling under pressure and high ball ain't that brilliant so no fullback for me.

So in touch (local league growing up) and friends, it was always wing or centre.

Preference was for wing because I was (and still am), rather fast, with decent footwork, and pretty explosive acceleration off the mark.

That is if my knees don't shit themselves.

Used to be a sprinter back in my school days and mid teens. Back then was clocked at 18-22kph.

Going through school I was much lighter.. high 40s to 50s. Sat around 50s in my 20s. Now up to 62.5kgs.

I have a really fast metabolism so burn off what I eat really fast.
Lucky you, my metabolism is so slow I'm probably still burning off the pizza I ate 2 years ago :ohwell:

Wow no wonder you are called mr. Invisible. I played a little on the wing but played mostly union in Ireland wing\inside centre, now I play touch footy and play centre.

I preferred centre because of my pace & strength but had the size to play in the forwards if needed & was the worlds biggest 5/8 for a while haha

Alright so this is a thread for everyone who has ever played league, whether it's with a group of mates or actually in a comp, what position do you prefer to play/did you prefer to play?

I can play in the halves or on the wings, I made it multiple in case you can play more than one position effectively.
As you guys can tell by my nick name I was considered to be one of the most damaging ball runners to ever grace steve folkes reserve.... NOT lol I originally started in the front row after three games I made my way to the no 4, but throughout I moved in and out of the forwards depending on injuries to players

LOL - The running joke my wife and I have, is after hammering somewhere all-you-can-eat.
"Hey babe, I've a feeling my next crap might just be half my bodyweight"

Infact best way I can compare, is I have a "Chris Sandow-esque" body shape.

Short, *tiny* bit of a gut, but short in all dimensions.

AND I cant hold a ball either!
