A few more Rugby League players having a go.

Jason Taumolo is a Pacific Islander heratige and a good chance and is only 23. Possibly LB or TE.

Valentine Holmes is a quick and young player. Maybe WR, PR/KR

Good read about Tim O'Donnell who is rated four star LS prospect and plays as well at fullback.

Let's hope they get a gig, preferably with the 49ers but the Franchise might be a bit reluctant thanks to Hayne turning out to be quitting fizzer

Oddly I was just searching for a thread along these lines. Mitch Wishnowsky wins punter of the year(college) making it 3 straight for Utah and Aussie punters.

Most of the Aussie punters come from an Australian Rules Football background which is a game where they are punting the ball just as often as running. So they get very good at it.

David Yankey doesn't come from that background.

Word on the street is he used to wrestle locomotives in the shunting yard when he was a kid

Good idea. Some are brilliant ball players and a lot of them are big men
