Ford is really skinny for his height. IF anything he is an undersized John Sutton.

Not really, just a smidge taller and heavier than Linnett. He has a great frame for centre and will play there if Maubs and BJ both miss out. (highly unlikely)

Koups is going nowhere! Smith had the option earlier this season to play Jaubs ahead of Koups, and stuck with the latter

yes ive already come to accept that fact. Its a tough pill to swallow but looks like Smith has a hard on for this ****.

Mate, put "NEWTOWN" in the subject line. I nearly had a heart attack thinking Carney was gorrrnn.

At that time, our pack was still being developed, so he needed Koups for his bigger size v Jaubs.
Now that Ryles and FPN are fit, and Mossy and Kennedy are capable off the bench, which they weren't early in the year, Smith can afford to have a smaller, quicker bench player, which I'm sure he knows we need to defend behind the ruck in the latter half of each half.

Linnet is a lightweight.He will fill out in years to come. Given their frames, they should both be close to the 100kg mark.
