Height and reach would count against him. Maybe somebody tall and leaner like Baloucoune. Hendo should be putting his applied mathematical skills to use in the Ulster laboratory devising a formula for this.

Thinking of Shanners or a similar wee fella, are you allowed to throw a player into the air or must lifters always keep contact with the 'liftee'?

I think not Solids. The laws state that there is an onus on those lifting/supporting the jumper to return him safely to the ground. This would imply maintaining contact.

Not sure what the penalty would be for failing to do so. :scratch:
