Just thought of this idea for a bit of chat and maybe an article for the programme. We at the Outlaws are famous for never having any big lads. Despite this we've always held our own against much bigger teams and this got me thinking about all the wee men who've played 'big' over the years
So lets have some nominations for the "Outlaws Little Big Men " 17.
Little men with big hearts - this one's for you...
Here's a few of my choices to get started. Lets try to keep them in their own positions and I think a little description of why they qualify for the "OLBM" 17 is required.
1 Rich Buck - weighing in at approx 3st 2lb Rich's defence and attack was immense. He's now 30odd but still looks 12

5 Dan Green - I remember a 16-year-old Dan Green dumping Gary Woodcock on his arse in a training session a few years back. Luckily, Gary saw the funny side
6
7 Simon Chiv Charvet - the smallest person ever to don the Outlaws shirt - did well despite being smaller than the artist formerly known as Prince
8 Rob Atkinson (circa 2004) - Tall for this team at 5'11"ish - but he was 12st and played prop. Had a lot of mongrel in 'im and never took a backward step.
9 Keiron Curtis - a diminutive player who can dish it out and dump big blokes on their arse.
10 George Strachan - Lots of height and weight he's lacking, but he's big in defence and attacking!
11 Alex 'Hitman' Hazledine-The tiniest forward in RL history. After a game against Scunthorpe where he dumped several huge forwards on their arse, one of their players was overheard in the bar ribbing one of his teammates that he'd "been smashed by that 10-year-old boy". To which the reply was "yes, but he was a very strong 10-year-old boy"
12 Coryn Ward - for also being tiny yet strong and tough. Part of the dwarf back row
13 Paul 'Clarkey' Clarke (c) He isn't a big chap but is pretty abrasive and would possibly be the man to Captain this team of dwarves - as a window cleaner surely he has a ladder which would no doubt come in useful. I heard coach Robb made him Captain as he was always being told off by the ref so he thought it would save getting an additional person involved.
14 Rob Brown - A controversial selection as his name is mud round these parts since he jumped ship to arch rivals Coventry. Look up "little man syndrome" in the dictionary and there will be a picture of Rob Brown.
