Yeah, it would only be a minor part but.

Spoken like a man who has never played either. Inside centre and five eighth are almost identical, except that inside centre is harder because you have much less space. And you do kick less. It's actually rather easy to compare hooker and scrum half, halfback and flyhalf too. It's just that you dismiss it because it doesn't suit your argument.
Can you even name any Polynesian halfbacks? Absence does not equal inability. But I'll start you off with Stacey Jones.
Maybe because, although the games are similar, they are just different enough to make the transition in crucial positions very difficult. And I don't recall a great many of their best coming over to league.

Without knowing what our cap was, I would be happy to not resign seffa ( saving guessing approx $350-450k over two years ), releasing allgood to another club for $75k ( guessing he is on $120-150k per year, saving approx $110k over two years, and alvaro can take his spot) . That frees up around $450-550k, then offer watmough $800-1000k for two years, that's assuming we gave $350-450k free in our cap over the next two years. But it's all a guess, as I know f**k all about our sides cap figures.
Ah I played 5/8 in league. I did not play union.
Polynesian halves & 5/8s: Ben Roberts, Thomas Lueuluai, Jerome Ropati, Carlos Tuimavave (spelling?) All great halves noted for their good decision making
Exactly, you can't compare the two because of the differences in the 2 games
Chris Thorman, Brett Finch, Shane Muspratt, Scott Dureau, Josh McCrone....I can cherry pick poor players too, white guys must be shit halves! Ropati isn't even a half for crying out loud, he's a centre. Hell, even Ben Roberts had an outstanding season or two and has represented two nations.
Face it. The sample size may not be as big, but you're just not correct. And as RL gets a greater foothold in Polynesian nations, we'll see a greater number of Polynesian halves as they give Ru a miss and play league

I think our recruiting for next year tells us something about this.
Ranga's are the way to go :lol:i like paprika ... u think we could work a little of that in somehow?
Shit thread derailed by bazal what a surprise
I'm fair dinkum strides. Direct quote.

Yep. You've all lost your minds. What a stupid question. Nothing like a little casual racism when your season goes down the shitter.
