whcih union players would you like to see in the nrl do a union on them and steal theyre best players, now im going to get some yawnion responses but i reckon theyre a few who could go well in league
the obvious is dan carter

a few others
ma'a nonu-make an excellent backrower or keep him in the centres
kurtley beale-itd be awesome to see him play league
berrick barnes-never really had the chance to impress in league
matt giteau- as long as we didnt have to become traders on the organ black market to get him
daniel helangahu-make a solid utility
will genia- kinda reminds me of sandow
sebastien chabel- think of the marketing potential and the cult following, could be outsanfding prop backrower or could be the next garrick morgan

Pierre Spies-195cm 111kg runs sub 11 secs over 100m, just a beast
Francois Steyn-191cm 100kg can play wing, centre, fullback, 5/8th, biggest boot I've ever seen, kicks goals from his own half and massive boot in general play, would be lethal with 40/20's

None of them. They're all unfit, slow and can't tackle - that's why they've been poaching league players.

Dan Carter and Giteau look good, but I doubt they could handle the speed of league.

If the media is anything to go by, Giteau sounds like a total merkin, so he fits in well with Union

why don't you got and play union then?
JWH was a talented junior union player who has managed to make the kiwis after 2 years in league, a bloke like Pierre Spies would be a superstar

Sebastien Chabal - the scariest man to ever play anything ever.

Mils Muliania - Good player, quick, good hands, good kicker
Sivivatu
O'Driscoll if he wasn't so old
O'Gara

Maybe Giteau, and maybe a younger George Smith (his hunger for smashing blokes would've put him in good stead).

But could never see modern RL throwing big coin at the rah-rahs.
