What would people say are the main differences between them?

Darcy is able to take more contested marks than RT, due mainly to his extra height, but RT is just as strong as contested mark, if that makes sense. In other worlds, RT is a shorter version than Darcy. (How crazy is it that we can say a 201cm forward is a smaller version of anyone?).

Accuracy at goal, RT is ahead slightly.

Ruck work, both are good, but the extra height of Darcy might give him an advantage.

Speed, I think RT is quicker and more explosive. RT has a huge tank and works his way up the ground more than Darcy does.

Skills outside of marking and kicking I would absolutely give to RT. His ability to kick freak goals are almost small forward like, and he is very good below his knees, and his disposal to another player is better.

In the sole definition of a forward in taking marks and kicking goals, with the ability to also ruck part time I would give to Darcy.

Its the extra bits that RT has that makes him special.
