Wasn't Jeremey Guscott once also close to signing? Around 1994-ish I think. Obviously before Union went pro.

Not so sure he did. Wendell Sailor was the one who did and was angling at that. Leeds for years tried to persuade Lomu but all in vain. In an era of parity, would have been great to see Big Les v Lomu. Ouch!

yes, it was Sailor. I was hoping he would play for them in a way so I could watch the man play in England.

Les V Lomu would have been an amazing contest, worth the admission itself.

Sailor played for Leeds Tykes for a couple of months in the late 1990s. In fact I think he might have played a couple of friendlies for the Rhinos.

Lomu at his peak I reckon would have been even more damaging than Vainikolo was. In league he would have scored a shedload.

Maybe I am biased as a Bulls fan, but I honestly don't think there will ever be a winger who can do what Vainikolo did. One of a kind.

Lomu in his prime was a freak, could have been amazing in RL. Vainikolo is still the best winger of the SL era mind.
