Has any winger ever transitioned to the back row? Plenty of centres have, but I can't think of any wingers who have.

Gary Mercer.

Actually McKenna was a centre, not a winger. Sorry

Tony Iro.
Vince Fawcett?

Damn, beaten to both Tony Iro and Gary Mercer. I'll add Brian Juliff. I think. Its clear from this discussion that its not as common as we might think for backs to transition to forwards. Corey Oates at the Broncos tried it and was an utter failure despite seeming to have all the qualities for a back row.

Good box 2 interview (if you can bear JJB's waffle) with Ian Blease. Like Arthur, not a man who is spouting platitudes or theory, just somebody with great experience in different roles and in different walks of life. Will be fascinating to see what he can come up with.
