Which are the best players from the dark side to grace our game.
There have been some belters like Offiah,Boston,Davies,Coslett and so on.
For me(and this is going of my Dad)I will go for Tom Van Vollenhoven,who is your best,thoughts please.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Van Vollenhoven was a great winger, but Boston was greatest player, and along with Alex Murphy the best player I have ever seen because they were brilliant in many different positions.
Other great converts Jim Sullivan (probably the best) but I never saw him play and he was a coach supreme, Lewis Jones, Trevor Lake, Kel Coslett, John Mantle, Johnny Freeman, Colin Dixon, David Watkins and John Bevan. |

[quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

Didn't he start out in rugby league, then also play union before playing only league... and going on to become the legend that he is? |

lewis was a RL junior. he played junior RL 5 years before he tried union, and he never stopped playing RL.
for a couple of years he went to an exclusive school where RL wasnt played so he also played union, in conjunction with RL on the weekend
went on a wallabies schoolboy tour to GB whilst still being a RL junior before and after
found union boring and threw it in
but because he was so good the union trolls claim him as one of their own
the way it works it :
if you play 1 year of RU as a junior this overrides any number of years playing RL |

basically in australia 80 - 90% of the kids who play union as juniors also play league because we are the dominant sport
RL isnt played in exclusive schools, its only union and soccer so some try it in school, but still play RL on the weekends
many current wallabies had extensive RL junior careers

Craig Innes played in two grand finals with Manly and was a former all black
Matthew Ridge (watch the hate come on now) pretty much similar

For example Rocky Elsom (Wobbilies flanker) played in the same Jersey Flegg side as Jonathon Thurston, Matt Utai and Roy Asotasi |
