When watching rugby league – whether it’s club, State of Origin, Test or World Cup – I have always admired the skill and power of the players and wondered how they would have gone if they had played AFL.

Well, this little exercise might do something about that.

I have selected an AFL side made up of rugby league players – past and present – and picked them as if they were to play a match together.

Some of the players picked might play in positions that are foreign to them.

THE RUGBY LEAGUE AFL TEAM IS:

B: Clive Churchill Graeme Langlands Noel Kelly
HB: Reg Gasnier Gene Miles Steve Mortimer
C: Wally Lewis (c) Bob Fulton John Raper
HF: Andrew Johns Ron Coote Ken Irvine
F: Mick Cronin Cameron Smith Mal Meninga
R: Norm Provan Brett Kenny Billy Slater
INT: Wayne Pearce Peter Sterling Ray Price Dally Messenger, Paul Vautin Greg Dowling
EMERG: Brian Bevan Duncan Hall Arthur Beetson Terry Lamb
COACH: Phil Gould
ASS COACH: Jack Gibson
UMPIRE (or should I say referee): Bill Harrigan
ADMINISTRATORS: Ken Arthurson & John Quayle

What do you think of this team?
