[O'Regan]

Locky needs to be in the team somewhere.

[Burgs]

Locky needs to be in the team somewhere.

He's #12 in mine and #21 in Eels?

[O'Regan]

I guess Leaue play five eighth like an inside centre.

[Eel]

Lockyer is definitely a first five. It was always out of him and Andrew Johns for the leagies. Half is too restrictive for Johns in union. They both like to run to the line and fire across passes or kicks.

[Burgs]

Looking good UTF, wondered how long til you found this thread
A couple there may not fit due to eligability though, not sure if it was stated but was supposedly an Australian XV.
Was during a period we were discussing who they should poach from League and that is under the assumption they are Australia eligable

[Use The Force]

ok that makes Wiki, SBW and Asotasi ineligible as they are Kiwis.

I'd replace them with...

Andrew Ryan (Dogs)
Carl Webb (Cowboys)
Luke O'Donnell (Cowboys)

O'Donnell and Webb are both tough as nails

[Ecky]

Not enough Bens in the Development XV.

Surely there's some more out there?

A lot of Unions laws are very difficult to grasp. even for some players.

And refs

Yes that too.

THere is an idea for a new thread - best and worst Ref's, Any takers?

Yeah, nah, I ain't biting today...

[Use The Force]

I did hear Rugby were looking at Tahu and Grothe...

Does anyone here watch any Eels games? I am a massive fan of them. Grothe is my favourite player.

[bort]

I am and will continue to be a big believer that League Players do not make good Union Players and I challenge anyone to find me a player that will prove me wrong.

barnes?
