[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 642704, member: 57076"] [B]Conrad[/B] is just saying Lomu played when ppl generally were considerably smaller than nowadays. Yes it was technically the pro era already, but that's not the point. That's just semantics, he meant an era with lingering, substantial traces and aspects of the older era. Personally, I (sorry [B]LG [/B]!) think Lomu would have dominated even today, but obviously not as much as back then. I don't want to start this debate, because it's not even like it's got different interesting interpretations, but a 120kg winger who had tremendous natural strength, like, beyond the pure mass, a great nose for the game and incredible body control and balance along with good footspeed...plus let's not forget the company around him, the AB's....that dominates in any era. BUT, yeah, not *that* much. I don't think there's too much to add...guys are way bigger, and everywhere, and defenses are tighter than ever easily... [/QUOTE]
