Allow me to dispel a myth for you right from the top, there is no such thing as being too small for Origin! A guy by the name of Alan Langer will tell you that.
I cringe every time I hear a sports commentator claim that the reason Jamie Soward is not up to the task of leading the blues around the park is because of his small frame.
Do people honestly think that a player like Soward could survive in the NRL if he was too small?
The game is full of professional athletes, weighing upwards of 100kg, tearing away at each other at sprinter-like speeds. If anybody can survive that, then they have paid their apprenticeship.
What else does Jamie have to do to prove his credentials!? Let two Mitsubishi Mirages plough into him to see if he survives?
Not only does Soward survive the rigours of the NRL, he dominates it.
Week in week out, he has proven himself to be the most consistent performer in the competition.
The NSW selectors need to be careful with their preoccupation with size, they might like to read a bit of Sigmund Freud’s work to find out why.
Reckon you can pick the winning team? Build your own dream team with Draftstars daily fantasy and compete on any match. For great odds on the NRL head on over to PlayUp. Imagine what you could be buying instead. Set a deposit limit.
