I played in my late teens-early twenties and was lucky enough to earn a couple of rep jerseys and win a few premierships with some good mates. U18's, 2 first grade and 1 in reserve grade, i loved my time playing. Unfortunately it isn't a big competition here and i lost interest (in the league but not the game)
I started on a wing when i got to seniors, then played mostly in the centres or back row but filled in almost anywhere and everywhere when needed.
I have nothing but respect for what any player at NRL or even state league level has achieved. It's a tough game to play at any level but towards the top i can't even imagine how hard it must be.
I play a bit of Australian rules now, it's a lot easier physically and i really enjoy being one of a few people who actually know how to tackle lol
