[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 742510, member: 67273"] Maybe... if he could pass... Forget the name "hooker" they aren't really forwards - I assume you mentioned Phillips because he's big. As I say - they are essentially SH's, most guys are 80-90kg. In fact - I'd venture to say that aside from the kicking, the 9 roles are the most similar across the codes. RL 9's won't really kick (in as much as there isn't very much territorial kicking at all in RL) but they will make a **** load of tackles. Aside from that they do the same thing as a RU scrumhalf - pass from the ruck and hold defenses/markers in to the ruck area. [/QUOTE]
