Just read that Jonah Lomu has died of heart failure...I know he played league until he was 14 and would have had a fantastic impact if he'd stuck with it.
Aged only 40, no age at all

RIP Jonah. One of very few Union players that I have had genuine admiration for. A lot of my youth was spent playing the Jonah Lomu rugby game. It was a massive shame we never got to see him play League.
A superb Union player who changed the "pattern" for modern day wingers.
I can still picture one of the Underwood brothers making a "schoolboy miss" and being left on his backside as Lomu brushed past him to score against England. You could almost smell the fear !
his endorsement deals must have been huge as i remember reading that he was offered lots of $$$ to play in super league and in the NRL. even towards the end of his career he turned down a 1 year deal to play for the titans.
would have been great to see him play league in his prime.
