That's insane, never seen a player come even close to that weight, there I was thinking my tight-head was a monster at 127KG!!

What's a good pack weight to have? Is it possible to get packs up to / over 950KG? Is that pretty standard the higher up the leagues you go, or is over 900KG good?

over 900kg is standard from div III up. over 950 is usual the higher leagues. for instance my last match my pack was 934KG I think, and I have a light 2nd row (102KG) who I could swap out for a 204cm guy whose10-15KG heavier. also in Backrow could throw in an extra 10-15kg if going for some extra weight. my best pack is slightly under 950KG though.

In my opinion once over 900KG it is stats more than weight that matters. props aim for minimium 120kg, hooker can be slightly lighter, 2nd rows I aim for 110kg minimum (yes I made allowances for my 211cm lad!) and backrow would be 110kg also as a guide. #8 slightly heavier than flanks usually. that is the rough guides I aim at for weight.

FewFew · 07-08-2012 5:51pm

Yeah, weight isn't everything as Eof says.

There's some formula out there (can't recall it exactly now) but the jist of it was something like (2)strength x weight. Or maybe it was even less for weight. So a strong guy with an ok weight will do better than a massive lad who's not that strong. A root on google will find it probably.

On the rare occasion that I'm up against a really light pack, I can field a decent scrum of 1,054kg , but my average scrum is only 968kg.

bossa_nova · 07-08-2012 9:23pm

I've been building up a mean pack as of late and they tip the scales at 970kg, and thats with a light 106kg second row:pac:

Going bankrupt is a quick way to have your team go bot and start afresh, the tax alone on that price would force his team into bankruptcy

This time last season I'd have estimated 800k for the lock and 1-1.2M for the halfback.

I imagine that the improvements to the academy training will be starting to have a depressing effect on price though, particularly for the halfback who has no unusual non-trainables. It looks like the next couple of seasons will see 18/19 year olds with similar skillsets right out of the academy.

Prop, old but well able to hold up a scrum.

Excellent short term option to shore your creaking scrum (still increasing in csr) if you can get him as cheap as I think he'll go.

Really nice looking player, good handling and attack, 2 skills normally crap in newly promoted props! I definitely would be on to him if I had the slots

Sort of have slots but no space for prop in team. Thought id cash in.

FewFew · 29-11-2012 2:21am

I'm somewhat in the market for a prop longterm, but he's a bit lightweight for me. He'd be replacing lads who are 137 and 136.

It's combined pack weight so if you have an extra heavy backrow or second row player everything will balance out!

Yeah, see that's my problem. I used to always go for heavy props, heavy 2nds and lightweight backrow, but now it's so damn hard to get decent locks I've had to lighten up my 2nds and compensated by getting heavier props.

Still... tempting. I know I'll need one in a season or two, as the oldest prop is getting on. Will have a look at my training slots.

FewFew · 29-11-2012 6:49pm

Ok, about time I made some sort of move into the exciting world of U20s rugby. Bid on.

Phonehead · 29-11-2012 6:54pm

Props are fun to train plus having a really good prop is equal to having another backrow in the ME.

Competition from Poland. Damn you Monkstown!

Yeah, I was actually thinking of using him short-term as a backrow, or rather sell off some of my older backrows, promote lads from the 2nds and get him regular game time. I've a 23 year old prop I was training up to eventually take over from the 1st team star, but I can just accelerate those plans. May mean the scrum is a bit shaky for half a season, but in the long run it'll be grrrrand.

edit: Although... must check on the height tolerances. Just noticed this lad is 189cm. Both of my current young props are 183cm and my trainee hooker is 179cm.
Looking at my team, I've 5 players over 130kg. Man I'm such a chubby chaser!

Anytime Fewi! I should be back in Ireland for the u20 World cup anyway, and I wouldn't let him get capped for Poland. So because he was an acadamy player he'd automatically switch nationality regardless of time spent.

crisco10 · 29-11-2012 7:51pm

yeah, he could be a short heavy back row either. Props are fun for U20. and then they start tearing it up in open field when they get 150k CSR plus.

Oh and I think you should see how high that autobid goes.

A bidding war eh? I do have a lot of cash burning a whole in my pocket... but I could easily wait for a shorter prospect to come along. Or just invest in that 3mil SA player.
