'Rugby not for NRL forwards'

WITH the exception of big Queenslander Petero Civoniceva, no current NRL forwards could cut it in rugby union and most backs would find it tough going as well.
That's the verdict of cross-code defector Timana Tahu, who offered some frank opinions on the union-league debate currently raging in football.
Despite Mark Gasnier's recent switch to French rugby, Tahu said the idea all league players could chase a payday and comfortably swap codes is off the mark.
"It's not true at all. There are arguments over rugby league and rugby union at the moment, but it is not easy to crack union, it is very hard," Tahu said.
