I don't think that you are allowed on frontline fighting at 16 though!!Originally Posted by TurboTom
Aside from that, the rules are a one size fits all which is generally correct, yes there are exceptions who may do better and this is what a few here are arguing for but the FRA is not doing its job if it is reckless with future health. People here do have sympathies with your view.
Minor aside just to illustrate a point, I used to teach a pupil who was excellent at rugby (played England under 19s etc) he now plays professional for London Scottish, he had a training program from Saracens, who had signed him on schoolboy terms. He was not allowed to do certain strength exercises as Saracens did not believe his body was strong enough. At the time he was approx 15stone and 6ft4ish, he accepted the ruling went onto play England under 19s and now still plays (he's 23 now). Who is to say if he had done these exercises would he have survived in the game? I'd rather do little young and keep going for ages, than do it all young and have little elsde to aim for. Sorry Tom, you might be one of the exceptions who could have managed young but would all your fellrunning friends?
Hope Uni is going well.....
