PVL could sell ice to an Eskimo, but if he can pull this off it will be his greatest achievement.

There's alot of talented League kids who have taken up scholarships to play Union at private schools.

Hopefully they all come back, but seeing how easily they are dominating in schoolboy Union Rugby Australia will be trying to sign them, Japanese Rugby are trying to sign Makasini.

Google the following names in 5 years and see where they end up

Toby Rodwell
Mitchell Woods
Heinz Lemoto
Onitoni Large
Heamasi Makasini
Rex Bassingwaighte
James Finegan
Alex Conti
Kahu Capper
Some next level names.

All those players listed are signed to NRL clubs, but all are currently dominating playing Union at private schools.

Hopefully Rodwell and the others listed choose to stay with the NRL and don't do a Jorgenson, Pollard, Ripley, Grealy..etc and decide to stay in Union.

Private schools are offering more and more of the best league juniors sports scholarships to play Union, we don't want to be losing the next Ponga, Walsh, Walker etc to the Raras.
