[QUOTE="Crash Hamster, post: 1116480, member: 84693"] Yeah, and my argument has been, all along, that lock-blindsides may be marginally better in the lineout, but that benefit doesn't happen very frequently and isn't of a great magnitude. (Example: if the ball is thrown to 2 or 4 at a 6 or 7 man lineout, it's lock v lock and the lifter at 3 for the defending side doesn't know whether to lift 2 or 4, so the attacking side probably win the ball. If the ball goes to 6 at a 7 man line, the ball is still clearing the defending side's 4 jumper whether the attacking side's 6 jumper has an extra couple of inches or not. It'd be interesting to see how many lineout throws are caught cleanly at full stretch; I'd wager that the extra couple of inches of upper body/arm length of a 6'8 jumper aren't frequently used. Are hookers' darts accurate to 2 or 3 inches at 12m?) To be fair, the discussion started to get a bit heated when you posted this: Pretty patronising, really, especially when you weren't responding to the point I'd made. You know I'm not actually a toy hamster with a silly hat on, right? :D ;)🐹 [/QUOTE]
