Do I look like a front player?

[Albinonewt]

My new team and I had our first sort of practice yesterday at Top Gun in Jersey (saw Freshmanbob while I was down there). There were only six of us, 2 front, 2 mid, 2 back and so we mixed it up all day and did three on three.

More then half the games our two front players ended up together and I ended up playing front for our three man squad. I'm 6'1" about 230 and I had to sprint up the middle with the two fast guys sprinting againt me. Ugh.

I did bunker one of them once, that was pretty funny.

I'm 6'3 and I play front.

Its all in your game dude.

[manike]

I'm 6'5" and have been known to play front.

I'm a mid/insert player, but when needs must...

[Bolter]

neither of us are 230 pounds though. Thats something you will have to sort out yourself man.

[manike]

What is 230lbs in real weight?

[cphilip]

11 stones?

Close... only around 50% out... 16 stones 6 lbs... just a bit more than me. I'm somewhere between 15 and 16 stones I think, but then I don't worry about my weight so I don't know what it really is.

Ok I had to guess. Used the wrong "Phil's Memory Factor Conversion"

16 Stones 1 pound = 225 pounds I see from looking it up.

Not the answer you were looking for though?

Haha! Stones!?! What the... You guys have the funniest words. Whats 220lbs in stones. I'm gonna start using that instead.

Well I saw when Simon asked for "Real weight" I would give him British weight. Which would be in Stones. It was supposed to be a play on words and meanings. However I was so far off the humor of it was lost.

Here's the conversion chart

I'm 6' 3", 235lbs, about 16 stones.

I play front just fine. You have to run a lot lower than the people that are 4' 5", but I can play front just as effective. Use your brain, and your speed, and you will be fine.


Back in the day when I used a warp, I always got compliments that they never saw who was shooting them.

I think its 14 pounds in a stone. But then again I didn't check the chart Manike put up.

You just have to adapt and play slightly different to the "small" guys. If you wanna fit into that small barracade, then you will.

Who cares what you look like as long as you get the job done. I pretty much played back throughout the 4 years I played tourny ball, and I don't fit the typical back player physical profile (9 stones ).

Newt- it could be the fact that you require a nap on the field.
