Rugby league plar positions and pitch dimensions?
Answers:
1 is full back
2 + 5 wingers
3+4 centres
6 stand off
7 scrum half
9 hooker
8+10 prop forwards
11+12 2nd row forwards
13 loose forward
although in the modern day squad numbers are used which sometmes have no bearing on positions, a stand off can wear 14 for example and a centre can wear 13!
as for the dimensions, not much different to fottball(soccer) or rugby union usually something along the lines of 100 x 80 metres
hope this helps
Backs - 1 = Fullback, 2/5 = Wingers, 3/4 = Cente Threequarters, 6 = Standoff (never 1st Five, thats Rugby Union), 7 = Halfback.
Forwards - 9 = Hooker (sometimes called Rake, but not used much any more) 10/8 = Props, 11/12 = Second Row, 13 = Loose Forward.
The position names are
1 Full Back
2 Right Wing Threequarter
3 Right Center Threequarter
4 Left Center Threequarter
5 Left Wing Threequarter
6 Stand-off or Five-eighth
7 Scrum Half
8 Prop
9 Hooker
10 Front Row Forward
11 Second Row Forward
12 Second Row Forward
13 Lock Forward
[1] p9, [2] p9.
The 'Scrum Half' is sometimes called the 'Half Back'.
The dimensions of the pitch are:
For Australia, as all grounds are the same size for the NRL:
68 metres wide,
116 metres long. This includes two 8 metre in-goal areas at both ends of the 100 metre field. [1] p2
For England and others:
68 metres wide.
112-122 metres long. The in-goal area can vary from a inimum 6 metres to a maximum of 11 metres. The variance is allowed, as grounds have different sizes, and some are soccer (football) grounds and do not have the space for the in-goal area. [2] p2
Not sure but a Rugby League's pitch is longer but not as wide as a Rugby Union's pitch.
