There was a big Australian lad who turned up at London Broncos a few years back, who could have been pretty decent if he'd had the application and work ethic. Mark Carroll, I think his name was..

Fair enough.

In that case, it is a good list.

On a serious note regarding Union players.

The one I always thought would be superb was Carlos Spencer. Every time I saw him play I thought, that's a Rugby League player playing Rugby Union.

Jason Leonard

 

 

My recollection of Leonard was that he was a big hearted chap but precisely the sort of Union player that there is no room for in RL: no interest or ability to play with the ball, a scrum grunter.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Didn’t Donald Bradman have to choose between RL and Cricket?

According to his biography football goalkeeper John Burridge would have played pro RL had he not chosen the football route. 

I've a feeling Budgie will have erm ...embellished that story a bit 😄

Great bloke though, absolutely nuts, but an incredibly dedicated athlete, very innovative also.

Just done a bit of googling around this - looks like he played full back in rugby league games at primary school but nothing after that.
