    @stargazer Could you check your sources to see if there is any mention of RTS having been signed by either BoP or the combined Nelson Bays-Marlborough Rugby Unions? He will surely be turning out for one of those given their recruitment track records.

        have any teams got room in the rosters?

        Supposedly not coming until next year.

        By which time he'll be older than people like Jeff Wilson and Joe Rok were when they played their last test.

        Yeah all those wanking on about him walking into the ABs should take note. Benji Marshall was shit at Union when he was old. SBW was too....he was also broken and kept getting selected to make things even worse.

        it's quite alright to just type "i don't know anything about RTS as a player"

          Cullen can’t hit a cricket ball, so Jordan is already better at cricket.

          Not a shade on him on a rugby field tho

          Cullen was pretty raw when he started out even though he had great speed and that sneaky strength. But he did run rings around some very amateurish defences back in the day. Became a phenomenal player.

          Still early days for Will.

            Cullen was certainly lucky that seven Scots legends in a row all forgot how to tackle.

            He was pretty ordinary really, give me Ben Blair or Leon MacDonald anyday.

              he'll be a winger. are there even rules that pertain to the winger?

              also, the AB selectors have proven over the past couple of years that they don't give a fuck about the positioning of the guy selected at 14, so he doesn't even have to learn that.

              He's already better under the high ball than any of the other options, is quicker, stronger, and has better feet than them as well.

              Sounds like he'd make a decent 12...

                Can't see RTS as an AB fullback without a proven kicking game and the risk of league instincts in the tackle. Wing or centre maybe. Cullen will remain GOAT

                    If Jordie Barrett can play Right Wing for the ABs, my God, RTS can.

                          If it is the Blues (and he is going to full back) I'm a bit disappointed that Zarn Sullivan might not get a real go, he looks to have the goods. I'm a fan of Rog, so as has been suggested, wing might be a better fit for him. Hard to tell until he actually plays some union.

                            RTS would have plenty of work to do to play fullback, as kicking isn't part of a RL fullback's skillset. It's not so much kicking for touch or distance but the high contestable kicks that are so much part of a fullback's role nowadays.

                                      RTS can sit on the bench for Ta$man and the Highlanders, it's still pathway to test rugby right?

                                          @Snowy I reckon Will will be away with the ABs.

                                          Dave might be as well, but regardless, we've always got room for one more!
