@bayimports a midfielder that could cover wing would be his best rugby position. I’d play him at centre because with just a little bit of space he can be very dangerous.
exactly this...I would hate to defend against him

What about RTS's defence at centre? The tackling style is a little different in RL, so that would be an adjustment.
I’d say he is a better tackler than what Laumape was when playing league.

Looking at some highlight reels. If he played Union, RTS should play Right Wing and be used in a similar way to the All Blacks did Nehe Milner Skudder in 2015.RWC. His massive step would be a handful one-on-one. Could use his passing to link with supporting Back Row players.

Just a quick question. Is anyone commenting on RTS playing union not very familiar with him?
lol, when does that stop someone from having an opinion
-
well it appears he is not going anywhere regardless, staying with Warriors

TBF to Laumape his injuries meant we never really got to see how good he was ... that margin might not have been that big if he actually got play. Instead he opened the door for Kata to dither around.

I haven’t seen the game, but....
I haven’t seen him play, but....
I haven’t watched super rugby for years, but...
I don’t know who you are talking about, but I remember a guy....

@ACT-Crusader yip pretty much.
As said, not knowing about a subject is no reason not to comment on here. But what you should know about RTS vs a Benji, SBW or Laumape is this guy is one of the best rugby league players ever. Not just right now. Ever.
If he goes to union he will succeed. I hope he stays in League though.
