They are ver different
They are either Fwd Rucks or 'Bears in the Square'
Whilst they are not agile, they have a distinct Advantage with size... Which Paddy does not have
Hawkins 197 and 108
Kosi 197 and 94
Kennedy 197 and 100
Jenkins 197 103
Casboult 197 105
Cloke 195 104
They are power forwards in a size and strength sense
Paddy is a leading forward, with no speed, power, endurance
He's 194 though.
1-3cms isn't that distinct really.
McCartin is currently playing as a leading forward, but that's to say that that is the player he is. He could end up a McGovern style backmen for all we know.
Point being, that at age 20 and with only 20 games experience - it's very hard to determine exactly what a 194cm kid who clearly isn't fit will become.
As per the stats of other big kids the same age/experience levels, he's certainly not too far off the pace, even though he's appeared underwhelming.
