Some good players there. As well as one or 2 who possibly shouldn't of been allowed out of the changing rooms.

I'm not going to list them all but a simple check of the pages in this thread listing great RU names who have played league successfully will confirm my point.

Yes, many greats have been listed on the last three pages (probably because we were discussing the best converts) but for every Billy Boston there is a John Gallagher

Of the 35 England rugby union internationals who switched to league between 1900 and 1995, just eight went on to play for Great Britain, and five of those had played league as youths

148 Welsh union internationals switched to league between 1895 and 1986. Of those 148 internationals, only 28 went on to play for the Great Britain rugby league team

Are you sure that “more Union converts have been successful in league than the other way round”

Yep.

I think I’m going to have to concede defeat here – you are clearly running rings around me!

Congratulations.

It only took you 760 posts but finally you have made one that actually makes sense.

Since my time watching Saints, Apollo Perelini stands out for me.
Pretty much a complete prop forward and a great club man.

Gibbs was good, and had the potential to be great, but didn't actually stick around long enough before returning to Union.

Having watched plenty of Tait and Davies I'd say that Tait was the better RL player but then he had an advantage having played the game as a kid in West Cumbria.

That’s not True- All the league players who undertook National Service would have played Union due the rules regarding League in the forces. Alex Murphy I believe was one.
