Name two players from the Rugby World Cup that you would love to see in the NRL and two players from the NRL to play rugby??

Play NRL
Mitch O'Connor - great skills, quick and tuff
Quade Cooper - see him get smashed every week cause he can't hide

Play Rugby
Justin Hodges - cause im sick of seeing him do grubby things
Steve Matai - The trainer could follow him around easier in Rugby

 

[Matt23]

Play NRL :
James O'Conner
Digby Ioane

Play Yawnion:
Kris Keating, he'd be a walk up start for the Waratards & Wannabe's
Adrian Purtell, he'd be provide some much needed spark to the Wannabe's backline :sarcasm:

 

[ash the bash]

I reckon Conrad Smith would go alrite, seems a smart handy player..

 

[CC_Roosters]

Brian O'Driscoll and Israel Dagg. I only watched tonights game in full, and fleeting glimpses of the rest. But i like Dagg and O'Driscoll is someone i think has always been wasted in Union.

Only player i wouldnt miss is Matai.

 

[hutch]

Sonny bill Williams and chris Ashton!

Sonny bill Williams and chris Ashton!

No thanks. ignorant little prick who left wigan and has been used as a mouthpiece against league by the english RU and media cohorts ever since.

SBW acceptable

 

[simmo1]

Would only take Ioane and O'Connor from the Wallabies.

I don't watch a lot of the other countries play, but Dagg impressed me tonight.

 

[Matt23]

$BW can stay there and rot

 

[Butters]

Play League :
Sergio Parisse (Italian captain/ no.8) - Probably the most skilled forward in rugby, pity most of the other italian players are so bad. He'd carve up as a prop/2nd row in league.
Digby Ioane (Wallaby wing) - Breaks tackles all over the place, would be a gun anywhere in a league backline.

Play Union:
Greg Inglis - Play him at outside centre with the amount of space the backline in union get compared to in league and it'd be glorious. It's a shame he's limited to one side of the field in league.
Adam Blair - Apparently he's a bit of a grub according to most on here, he'd have lots of fun playing union if thats the case.

 

[hellteam]

Most of the All Blacks backs would be good league players, Dagg especially. Would also take Kahui, Nonu, Cruden, Weepu.

from Australia... Kurtley Beale - don't think he would be that great though

 

[RHCP]

Ma'a Nonu, Israel Dagg.

 

[aqua_duck]

Toby Feratau (Wales) big, strong young Tongan kid, would make a handy wide running backrower in league.
Cory Jane (NZ) he's a Jason Nightingale type, doesn't look like much but just always seems to beat tackles, quite good under the high ball and an awesome fend

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Would love to get the former Te Atatu Rooster James O'Bieber to the Warriors and then playing for the Kiwis where his league heritage lies

 

[Chook Norris]

Ma'a Nonu,

cant say i watch much rugby, but this guy is great

 

[some11]

Wouldn't mind Brad Thorn back to the Broncos alongside Petero for a swansong season.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Dagg, Ioane, Kahui would all kill it in league. Wouldn't mind getting Berrick Barnes back either. Smart player, composed.

There's a couple of guys I'd love to see in league who weren't at the World Cup, namely Robbie Fruen and Rene Ranger.

 

[Perth Red]

any of the fat frickers so Georgie Rose felt more normal!

Shit yes, they would be awesome in league. I wonder how much money they make in rugby, can't imagine there would be too much in it for the fringe All Blacks players - could probably make just as much in league here.

Warriors, get on it!

 

[Bazal]

O'Driscoll is too old now, sadly. Absolutely awesome player in his prime though.

I'd have to say Francois Steyn, from the Springboks. Massive, fast, skillful unit who could play anywhere from 1-6 and 11-13 in league. And he has a huge boot as well, but that's really secondary to the fact that he's a beast IMO. Also Ioane, he'd be a fantastic league centre.

 

[Big Sam]

After tonight's effort the Wallabies could've used Billy Slater under the high ball.
