Who wins in a game of Forwards v Backs?! | The Fan | Fox League

[@barefoot.cryptographer3974]

This would be a good exhibition/charity match. Backs 48-20

[@blackjordan3444]

A definite need to fit this in somewhere. The first hit up would be ruthless hahaha

[@xaviershearer7503]

I would say backs purely due to fitness, speed, kicking game and better ability to run plays and shapes. First half would be difficult probably get trampled and would be hard coming out of yardage but forwards kicking game wouldn’t get them far either

[@LukePrichard]

I take it you haven’t played. In what world do you live in where backs are fitter then forwards lol

[@carter6594]

Because how many forwards play 80?

[@JamesSant1]

@@LukePrichardForwards got more pure muscle but backs are faster

[@lyleelliott3720]

​@@LukePrichard it's a completely different type of fitness tho. Backs are more mobile so have better footwork while also much faster, forwards are more built around strength and power.

My rough team mock ups of both potential teams. Obviously could make changes to both sides. Forwards 1. Dylan Walker 2. Tallis Duncan 3. Beau Fermor 4. Briton Nikora 5. Sitili Tupouniua 6. Connor Watson 7. Blayke Brailey 8. Addin Fonua Blake 9. Harry Grant 10. James Fisher Harris 11. Angus Crichton 12. Haumole Olakau’atu 13. Isaah Yeo 14. Damien Cook 15. Cameron Murray 16. Mitch Barnett 17. Dylan Lucas Backs 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Tom Trbojevic 3. Stephen Crichton 4. Latrell Mitchell 5. Brian To’o 6. Dylan Brown 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Suli 9. Ben Hunt 10. Siosifa Talakai 11. Jack Howarth 12. Izack Tago 13. Jack Wighton 14. Selwyn Cobbo 15. Herbie Farnworth 16. Marata Niukore 17. Bradman Best

[@davidpickford.]

Latrell needs to be at lock or 2nd row

[@no_shoes6706]

@@davidpickford. Ruben Cotter would have to be there, mobile, defensive machine and can play large minutes

[@xavier1206]

Forwards would lead the first half but then they would wear out and backs would dominate. Backs take it 36-18

[@hansoloburger2322]

I’d want to see the teams before I’d make my decision. The backs could definitely pull them a part but forwards could run right through imagine 1st hit up afb 2nd hit up carrigan 3rd Payne hass yeo playing some shape to cam Murray Fifita etc but having trell ponga turbo Walsh doing there thing would be crazy

[@laytonbrosnahan8726]

Forwards 1. Dylan Walker 2. Kikau 3. Liam Martin 4. Fifita 5. Angus Crichton 6. Api 7. Harry grant 8. Fonua Blake 9. Reece Robson 10. Hass 11. Haumole 12. Yeo 13. Murray 14. Taumalolo 15. Leniu 16. Nikora 17. Cotter Backs 1. KP 2. To’o 3. Critta 4. Tommy 5. DWZ 6. Moses 7. Cleary 8. Talakai 9. Bent hunt 10. Suli 11. Latrell 12. Best 13. Wighton 14. Deardon 15. Staggs 16. Olam ( prop ) 17. Ramian (prop)

[@stevensmith8876]

You couldn't do it in the real world because of the injury rate in the backs.

[@thomasrodwell563]

I'd love to see this

[@jordonjordon7388]

Purely kicking side of the game backs win

[@jase5865]

The best Hookers have a kicking game

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

That's actually a really interesting question 🤔 Backs all day

[@EatGoodLiveGreat]

Forwards would win because half the backs team would get injured

[@RugbyBro]

Kicking game is a problem for the forwards unless they have the goat Tommy Burgess in their team 😂😂

[@VernEllison-o5k]

Bahaha just like old fellas vs young fellas. Gave those young fellas a hiding everytime lol

[@lesblase3667]

Forwards = V8 Backs = Twin Turbos

[@PoweredbyRobots]

Backs, every time. Been there and done it in both codes.

[@c.tapine]

Forwards are used to playing in the middle and that’s 90% of the game

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

And 5% of the scoring. But don't forget, 67% of all statistics are made up.

[@Camdogthetruth]

Depends on the dynamics of the field. Obviously a full normal field backs would win cos they are quicker and fitter. Halve the measurements and make it an even playing field I reckon 13 Taumalolos would reak havoc on 13 of any backs you choose

[@loganmiria3444]

Easy for the backs forwards probably play heaps of 1 off runs or tip ons no plays

[@tkbax1]

Forwards win games backs by how much

[@ImJustOldMate]

Forwards dominate. Backs only score tries because they play against other backs

[@MERCURYSUNSET]

Forwards would win .

[@Alekosdw]

Id say forwards, better defenders , better offloaders , and hardly any halves know how to ball play properly It’s all out the back Hardly any off the cuff footy
