Amazing athlete and seems a really down to earth guy, not what i expected tbh. Think the best we can hope for is that he fancies a year over here for the experience of playing/living in the uk.

Clearly you have no idea about the differences in playing a 12 in Union (Inside centre) and a SR in league. Clearly playing inside centre would develop his passing game.

Never thought I'd say this but.....I've heard it all now!

Edited for accuracy.

Why would his passing game develop more as a RL SR over a second reciever 12 in RU where he had his hands on the ball in most attacking players as a BALL PLAYER?

I agree with you mate, some people are just anti RU no matter what though. Maybe if they actually watched a few games rather than just the occasional international they'd appreciate RU for what it is; a completely different game to RL. I have no doubts that SBW became a largely improved player due to his stint in the 15 man code. Anyone who says otherwise are being plain ignorant.
