Quote ="dboy"I feel you are suggesting he has not only survived, but thrived for 10 years in union.
He has played something like 10 games per season and scored around 3 tries per season. Hardly great.
In League his threat was attack. That's gone. He'll sparkle on occasion (probably against us lol), but he's 31 now.
He wasn't cheese the first time round and he won't be cheese the second time time round.

So your telling me, he has played 10 years in Union at the very highest level in a very difficult position to defend, without been able to defend? He may have had some injury issues but the majority time his was fit, he was picked, now I am sat here wondering why he got capped 6 times for England if he couldn't defend.
If you cant defend in either code in any position, you will get found out very quickly, especially at elite level.
