One thing I noticed last night is how big we were as a team. Especially you swap Allen and Sakamoto for Sheaf and Wright. Thomas and Binks are tall, Bidwell is a good height for a fullback. Eccles Sheaf Torp and Rudoni are all 6ft ish. Simms and Wright are both roughly 6ft3 and EMC looks a real unit.

It’s definitely been a focus in the recruitment. All the best teams in the world don’t have many players below 6ft. It should mean we score a few more from set pieces hopefully, especially after some of Rudonis deliveries this pre-season.

Howley looks like he's grown a bit too.

Having said that when Dasilva and Betjemann came on it looked like we were letting some of the JSB's have a run out.

Definitely a bid to counter the likes of Luton etc who want to bully teams with size.

I remember my old boss talking to me about the city during the last season at highfield road.
Big baggy kit, no real units, and he said how he thought they looked like kids when they ran out of the tunnel. ‘Get them on the steak and Guinness and in the gym’ he’d say.
can’t really say that now.
