Who’s the strongest player in the NRL
 
If there is one thing that has changed that stands out above all else when you look at the modern game compared to 30, 20 even 10 years ago it’s the physical development of rugby league players.

What is increasingly clear is that the need for speed is more important than it has ever been, more about that soon.
