[QUOTE="Grizwald, post: 793226, member: 71892"] I agree with Canuck. Adult males stop growing at 18-20 you may continue to grow in size and bulk you may stop growing taller. At your age group it happens, you usually find there are one or two lads who have a physical edge on the rest and can run riot, then the rest mature and catch up and you have to rely on more than sheer size to be a successful player. When you get to open age it depends on what level you play at. Even at semi professional you can get varying shapes and sizes of players. 6'5" plus second rows aren't that common really but if you stop growing at 6 foot you'd probably be a bit short. Hooker I think depends on the size of your two props to a certain extent. Speed of a back with the physicality of a forward? Def number 8 or flanker IMHO, you have to enjoy tackling and except you'll do some unglamorous carrying in tight areas into other big players. [/QUOTE]
