[QUOTE="Barbarian Horde, post: 369325, member: 45976"] Well you certainly have the size but if you're aiming to go pro in england at second row you must have a comprehensive understanding of set pieces and [B]excel in that specific phase of the game[/B]. If you're also looking to be an option in the back row and [U]and get noticed quickly[/U] however, you'll need to become a [U][B]dominant[/B][/U] tackler. I'm not talking about a guy who [I]usually [/I]makes the tackle, I'm talking about a guy who [B]always [/B]makes the tackle and wreaks havoc in the process...the sort of guy who takes pride in defense and who can singlehandedly disrupt an attack. [I]These[/I] kinds of guys are in short supply and are invaluable in the modern game. Bottom line...you'll have to master set pieces just to get on the second row/back row map but if you're goal is to [B]get noticed[/B] and turn pro without the benefits of going through the academy system you'll need that "wow" factor. Trust me, take pride in your defense and the rest will take care of itself. [/QUOTE]
