Baring in mind the massive lack of decent English half backs in league I'd like to see them both give it a shot.

Would love to see Eastmond and Luther Burrell back as well.

Burgess goes without saying.

Thirdly, the defensive line is set at 0 metres rather than 10 (which is why the defences look better than they are).

Andy Farrell and the word international should not be in the same sentence. If I am correct British RLs least successful international captain ever. A knackered prop then suddenly plays in the back line for England RU in his final days as a player. Then becomes an international coach in a sport he barely played and helps create the worst ever World Cup team of a host nation. You could not make it up! He must be a hypnotist or something to get these positions!

This is definitely true. I remember David (Dai) Young (Wales) and Mark Brooke-Cowden (World cup winning New Zealand player) playing for Leeds in the 80's. Young didn't seem to know what to do with the ball, whilst Brooke-Cowden ran into tackles and came to an immediate stop. - He looked like he would have trouble breaking through a wet paper bag!

I seem to remember Dai Young getting reasonably good towards the end of his career at Salford - I may be wrong about that, though.

Union does seem to be producing much fitter athletes than it used to. I suspect you wouldn't have the situation now that you had with Tuigamala, to give one example, who seemed to take a year to get up to the required fitness level (what a player, though, when he did). I reckon there are a fair few outside backs knocking around the RU world that would be a success in RL.

So would i, but its not going to happen.
