The more I think about it the more I think its ridiculous to be honest.I bet the vast majority of every other player in the league has been playing rugby in some form since they were young lads.He admits himself that hes never played before and doesnt even know the rules.If he thinks its gonna be comparable to his brief stint in american football he's gonna be in for a rude awakening.I've played both sports (union admittedly,not league) and although you get hit hard in american football you have the luxury of plenty of breathers between each play.Not the case with rugby and the conditioning needs to be top notch.He's gonna take a pasting,end of story.Should be interesting though.

Latest is that he has been included in the squad for the game against st helens. they must be desperate. Will only play if there are lots of injuries i should imagine.

Offiah was fantastic at finishing, had such a good step and pace for a big lad, where as Robinson was excellent in broken field play from standing start, etc...
Robinson's defence was better than Offiah's though.
Offiah going forward, Robinson in defence i would say.

I find it difficult to pick too. Wasnt Offiah a lot more prolific than Robinson?
For me his superior points scoring would give him the edge over Robinson.

I believe so, if i remember correctly.
He scored 10 tries in one match, i recall.
I remember the one where he ran the full length of the pitch at Wembley stadium.
I liked Kevin Iro too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g46qLzU9pVQ

Publicity stunt or not it's getting RL a lot of attention
After watching our lads stuff Cas last weekend the last thing they need is another winger!
It takes a lot of bottle for anyone to run out on a rugby field, especially someone with little knowledge of the game, for that reason I have a lot of repect for him

I think I was the one who initially mentioned Offiah. Clearly he is not in the same league but we may all be wonderfully surprised. Anyway Offiah on Chambers.
Offiah was naturally a better league player I think, Robinson a more naturally gifted union player.

Offiah certainly has been singing chambers' praises, even asked him to try his hand at league last year. Robinson has been a general rugby legend where as offiah has only become a legend in league. So as i am a fan of both codes of rugby i would say Robinson was the better player.

Report him lol. People like that deserve a slap. If you are on juice then its your own business and if you aren't it gets f*cking annoying people assuming you are just because you have a bit of size to you
