Is Jake lever a key defender?
Almost all would say he is an intercept defender. Yet he is an inch taller than our guys.
The game is less about one on one contests now and more about team defence.
I see Weitering and Young as true KP defenders and Marchbank/McGovern as the intercept defenders.....you wouldnt be expecting the latter two to be picking up Lynch, Dixon, Hawkins etc who I would describe as Power KP Forwards given their size and strength.
The extra cm and kegs do make a big difference....
