[QUOTE="jonnyl98, post: 931612, member: 79362"] Hey all, other than a little bit of Union experience when I was younger, I’ve played Rugby League all of my life. In June though I’m starting a placement year down south so recently I’ve been trying to do a bit of ‘networking’ to try and find a club which I’ve managed to do. I’ve always played full back in League, I’ve played a bit of stand off as well but full back is essentially a free position where you can float about and have a bit more freedom than playing in the halves, which suits me. I’m more of a ball playing full back than a running one. I’m just wondering, how does the role differ in Union to League? In League, you know a kick is coming on the last tackle so it’s easier to get into the right position than in Union when a kick can come whenever. Also, I’m only 5’8 and I’m not sure whether that will impact me in Union at all given the increased amount of kicking. Sorry if it’s a bit jumbled, I’d appreciate any advice. [/QUOTE]
