Clarkson, Jack and Harvey might disagree!
Give me a 5'10" footballer(Mitchell) over a 6'4" spud(Jones), and I'll back the footballer every time!
And I'll back the Jones in a one on one test of strength with Mitchell (unless Mitchell gives him a corkie first).
Our players are being outmuscled because they have been conditioned for endurance running. Aggression doesn't come into it when one player has a size and strength disadvantage. Aggression may tip the scales when two players are more evenly matched. Weight training also helps to encourage aggression.
