Derro 0 Posted June 4, 2004 In Australia, parents of opposing clubs are trying to ban a 90 kg 11 year old from playing jnr rugby league because of safety reasons. I know most people here don’t care about rugby of any kind but 90 kilos god damn that’s heavy. Normally I would'nt discriminate but I can understand the parents concerns. Oh, for those who may read this a still use the imperial system 90 Kg is just under 200 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fett 0 Posted June 4, 2004 Holy Cow!!!! :( I'm 26 and 6'2 and weigh 200 pounds. :( This kid must be HUGE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted June 4, 2004 He's either very fat, very huge, or finished growing at 11. :( I'm inclined it's the middle or latter, in which case, I don't blame the parents. :( Maybe he could play with an older age group? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derro 0 Posted June 4, 2004 (edited) He looked pretty big on the tv, towering over his competitors he looked pretty solid as well. He looked like he may be Polynesian ethier Tongan or Samoan which if that's the case that would explain a lot. Edited June 4, 2004 by Derro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derro 0 Posted June 5, 2004 Maybe he could play with an older age group? That’s a good idea, but the club that he’s with is arguing that under the rules he has the right to play in that age group. Anyway I found the story online for anyone interested: http://seven.com.au/todaytonight/story/footykid It’s got a pic of the kid with other competitors which gives you a indication of the kid’s size but it’s not a good one.

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Cripes, mate! That's a big kid! I'm 255 pounds (about 114 Kilos), and I am almost twice this kid's age. I am also probably alot taller. I'd suggest putting him in a higher bracket, let him play with kids his size. I guess it's they "Hey, pick on someone your own size" thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
