Care to offer any with some evidence?
Mate we are talking about rugby league. The 1, 7 and 9 are generally considered the most important positions in rugby league and history shows who has won premierships in these positions
Some athletes are better suited to collisions and power. Others are better playmakers and decision makers. You need to get the balance right. Parra have not
I just did, you conveniently ignored it. You wanna know the difference between league and union halves? League call ours five-eighth, halfback and hooker and RU call them inside centre, flyhalf and scrum half. So why, then, are there premiership and world cup winning players in those positions in rugby union if you believe that whatever the hell a "pepper" player is cannot achieve that?
The fact is simply that, if we are talking Polynesian players (given you are too cowardly to say it outight, it's difficult to tell) they simply end up in other positions in rugby league because as kids they tend to be larger than Anglo kids. There is a rich history of excellent halves in rugby union, which you may also recognise as the DOMINANT CODE in Polynesian nations. You want "pepper" halfbacks? Look at their dominant code and stop being insular.
