Always a fine line with weight I believe between being too small and easily out muscled around the contest but quick and elusive and being too big and lose pace and endurance but can push others players aside. We definitely sit in the overly small bracket at the moment but players like Lids and Martin could easily get too big (like Lids did when he was lined up by Wallace to be a forward and then made to play mid where he couldn't compete properly because he lost his pace).
I think our bookends needs a huge amount of size but our midfield just needs the strength and size to not be pushed out of a contest such as what has been happening over the last few years. Tuck is a great size for an inside midfielder but lacks the pace (among other things) to spread and carry.
Horses for courses as they say but for such a long time, many of our players (and the coaches who are positioning them) never know exactly what spots different players will line up in from week to week. Makes it hard on everyone.
In general though, I am very pleased all the players are increasing in muscle and core strength. It will be a long time before I need to worry about players getting too big I'd imagine!
