[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1141176, member: 34990"] Lots of good wingers/finishers but they rarely make the switch successfully Sale have had a number of converts in recent years (so ignoring the likes of Jason Robinson) but the only two that have stuck it out in Union are Luther Burrell (who did go back to league for a bit but then swapped back to union again) and Denny Solomona Josh Charnley was one of the best wingers in SL when he switched, took him a while to find his feet but never looked more than a club level winger, went back to League and immediately tore it up there again Feel like with the NRL the guys who make the switch they've often played union as a kid (often in NZ) before being picked up by an NRL side - that's a lot rarer in the UK as League is so compartmentalized to the north that kids will grow up playing one or the other but rarely both (though Leeds tykes RU academy does have a number of players each season who get picked up by RL sides) [/QUOTE]
