1. Billy Slater – Kick Boxing
There’s something about Billy the Kid and his legs. From his terrible habit of leading with his knees to prevent tries to that time he kicked Bulldog David Klemmer in the head, it seems a natural progression for Slater.
2. George Rose – Professional Hot Dog Eater
Cult-hero George Rose is no stranger to the spotlight, and although he’s forged a reasonably successful career with the Sea Eagles and the Melbourne Storm as a fringe bench-warmer, I seriously think he should consider a career as a professional hot dog eater.
3. Johnathan Thurston – Football (Soccer)
Forget Bend it Like Beckham, let’s bend it like JT! The Cowboys superstar must be getting sick of being constantly ripped off by the NRL, so I’d excuse him if he wanted to pack up shop. Imagine him sitting over a dead ball for Brisbane Roar? He’d be unstoppable.
4. Ben Barba – Ping Pong
So this may be a bit of a stretch but stick with me – he’s small, zippy and has great hand-eye coordination. I can just picture Barba battling away on a ping pong table at the Commonwealth Games, can’t you?
5. James Tedesco – Football (Soccer)
The injury-prone Tigers fullback would be much better suited to the virtually contact-free sport that is football, where players are more likely to take a dive than actually put their body in harms way. No contact means the naturally gifted athlete might actually have a chance. Sign him up, Sydney FC!
6. Shaun Johnson – Touch Football
This is a no brainer. After footage emerged of a young Johnson tearing up the touch footy field, it begs the question – why he has stuck with league for so long? I bet he wouldn’t go missing on the touch field like he does in the NRL.
7. Akuila Uate – 100m Sprint
You and I both know the Fijian flyer is one of the quickest players in the game. That’s a fact. It’s also fact that he’s a horrendous defender, so I really think he should reconsider his wing role at the Newcastle Knights and take up a role as a 100 metre sprinter. He’s got the frame and the speed, so why not?
8. Jarryd Hayne – NFL Punter
Hayne is one of those athletes that could play almost any sport, but I’ve chosen NFL. The Hayne Plane’s already in the states on a post-season trip with the Parramatta Eels, so he may as well stay there, right? He’s probably the best kicker in terms of distance in the game, so he’d slot right in. Plus, he’d only have to enter the field a couple of times a match, slot a couple of goals and take the rest of the game off while pocketing a cool couple of million a year. Another no brainer.
Apologies if anyone has already read or posted this before but saw this when i was doing Uni work and thought it was pretty good. I know no.8 is still a sore subject with some people and has sort of become at least partly a reality but the rest of them are pretty good.
Any more you can think of?
