Are there any Rugby Union players you wished had made the switch to Rugby League?

I was always a big fan of Carlos Spencer and thought he would make a really good halfback in league

there was talk that Stephen Larkham had an open "whatever it takes" offer from the Roosters to make the switch

Since you guys all went All Blacks I'll go just Wallabies.

Stephen Larkham & Tim Horan.

He would've been a great 1 or 6 in the NRL.

Know that vid very well ;)

My boy is a destructive player, especially in defence. But I've been drilling his head with vision of Jonah since he was 4. Today his known for his fend firstly, then his defence. His fend I credit to Jonah.

It's hard for me to know how good rugby players are in comparison when good league players who crossover dominate

If you want to watch good games with actual tries, watch the All Blacks and Canterbury Crusaders first, then when any other NZ team plays.

Don't watch the Wannabes, the Poms or SA, boring AF.

a number of really good league players were Union converts --> Ray Price, Michael O'Connor, Ricky Stuart, Andrew Walker etc.

Campese engages all 3 All Black defenders and then puts Horan away with a no look pass
Just wow. Check this one..


I tried to find the one where he is at full speed picking up a ball on the ground and scoring but couldn’t..
