[QUOTE="Booboobang, post: 1141188, member: 86230"] There is also the point that NRL is levels above super league and most of the time their talent pool is literally just the peak talent pool for rugby like sports. In england, I would back a fair few union players to come good in league, and the main talent pool being in union. Eastmond looked promising but injuries and such got in the way. Think burgess could of worked out, Burgess, shoehorned in at centre because there was a rush to get him into the world cup squad, if they had given him time in the back row think he would of looked good. I do Wonder how guys like george williams, herbie farnworth, jack welsby, tomkins etc... would go in union, but its more morbid curiosity than any actual belief they would improve the player pool.
