Quote: Codarmysaint "I love these "Rugby league produces far superior players and thats why RU want them" threads.
Pretty much every British player who has gone to union has failed by a long way with the exception of Chris Ashton. I dont care about Henry Paul winning club man of the year and Pan face getting his token england cap due to the amount of money they paid for him
You know why? British rugby league players are way behind their union counterparts in terms of the necessary skill sets for backs.
This aint 1994 anymore'"
I suppose you don't care about Jason Robinson or John Bentley either. Not to mention Wendell Sailor and Lote Tuquiri. Iestyn Harris didn't do too badly either. Then there's Shontayne Hape...
Of course I could go on, but instead let me ask you this; do you think the likes of Inglis, Slater etc would succeed in the other code? What about our own Kyle Eastmond? Maybe Keiron wouldn't have been a success either, eh?
The bottom line is a player who was no more than 'a prospect' in league is regarded as the best winger in the English game in the other code. Take from that what you will.
