Also, is it just me or has the "short" stocky Prop gone out of the game ala Danny Nutley and the legendary Hutch Maiva?

Plenty in union, but they have the unfortunate role of first to break their neck if the scum collapses

Quite a few more around that 180 and next few cm are more of a 13
Wiki says Hutch was 183 and Nutley 177 so even by current NRL Nutley was short. There’s a handful of props around Hutch’s height, like Terrell May but they probably aren’t ‘nuggety’ guys.

For all his athletic ability, Dom Young is a bit goofy with decision making
More than a bit goofy. He’s a really dumb footballer.

Has all the physical attributes to be elite but isn’t a smart winger. Might come with experience.

The whole roosters attack is rushed and forced passes. If they work they put 50 on you. If it doesn’t they make error after error

MRC didn't want to risk him getting suspended for two weeks and losing the opportunity to decapitate Mahoney for the front rowers union in a couple of weeks

Grade 1. Fine only. Yep.
At least they are consistent .
Nearly every grubby cheap shot he does is a fine ONLY.
Unless the victim gets taken to the hospital in an ambulance ?

Or someone like Dale does an accidental head clash.

Yeah fair call. Been trying to think of some.

Only one who springs to mind in the past 10 years would be Sam Moa.
I remember Sam but just googled him to see his height and weight

TIL I'm short and stocky
