It's never bothered me all these guys who go to union/afl. For every Falou/Hunt that goes there is a RTS/Barba/DCE/Johnson waiting in the wings. Then of course the good majority of them end up back here any way. And that's because at the end of the day a rugby league player is always a rugby league player. You can only fake your love for a sport that's piss boring (Union) for so long.

Hit the nail squarely on the head there mate. Does anyone even remember Karmichael Hunt these days?

I live on The Tweed and honestly never hear his name anymore.

That's assuming he still plays for the gAyFL team up here???

Very well said MadRooter.

I always chuckle when the Yawnion heads bang on about all the Leaguies crossing over.

We all know its purely for the cashola. Or because they are washed up in RL.

$BW is the rarity, he does things for the challenge I dig.

But if I was a Yawnion head I'd be embaressed that RL players find the transition generally easy. Cos when they attempt to come to RL it generally ends in tears.

Check this bitter tools whinge fest. I personally love some of the comments exposing his campaign to make out RL is shit and Yawnion is something special. We all know the truth.

Joe Tomane has represented the Wallabies.

What more needs to be said about the quality of Rugby Union outside of NZ?

Do you notice though its only playing in the backs where RL players succeed in RU.

I just read...blah blah blah, I hope he struggles or it's going to make us look shite. As Tommy Smith says, Joe Tomane played for the Wobblies, and he was a fringe NRL first grader at best.

And Folau the 'most devastating back in the world'? Please.....

I call horseshit.

The ARU are currently having to lay in their bed after they made it. All the junior clubs and to some extent seniors are paying for their on and off field spending spree.

Israel Falou-making SKD look like Trevor Gillmeister in defence.

Mostly mate, except Brad Thorne.

I think it's more to do with time and the massive differences between the forwards game in both codes. If players had 5-6 years to learn their trade there may be more but that won't happen cos profile players wouldn't be given that much time and $$$.

The outside backs are much more similar in both codes. The glory boys out wide, capitalising on the pigs hard work. Lazy Carnts.

It's the one thing both codes agree on, outside backs are show ponies.

The bloke is no different to Rothwitt IMO.

He makes up shit to suit his warped opinions and blatantly ignores the reality of situations. And he does it all the time.

His ego is bigger than his bulbous melon.

And that bandana he's photographed wearing, deadset looks like a gay pirate, arrrhhh me laddie. I'm sure Alan Jones would use it for batting practice.

To many ruck rules for the RL players and scrums are competitive... RU backs spend more time kickin stones than playing, RU forwards and Backs go well in RL..

I'd tap his missus though......
