[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 85512"] I feel it's easier for a Union Player to go to League than the other way around. I mean, average to above average players like Matthew Ridge and Frano Botica who couldn't crack the All Blacks or even just solid provincial players like Darryl Halligon cross codes and become stars. With the exception of Tiquri and to a lesser extent Mat Rogers and Jason Robinson, League players have had trouble changing codes - Players like Henry Paul who were supposed to take Union by storm became laughing stocks. As well as that It would be harder for a League foward to become a Union foward due to the fact scrums aren't over in 2 seconds, as well as the rucks and lineouts. [/QUOTE]
