If Quade cooper was to join parra he would be in fine company.Parra`s only two successful rah rah converts were the great dick thornett and ray price.

Andrew Leeds was a Wallaby fullback and he was okay.

just reading 100 great years of league, Dick Thornett was actually a triple international having represented Australia at the 1960 Olympic games at Rome for Water Polo!

John Muggleton was a wallaby wasn't he?
or did he just play it after he left parra?

Try this link it might help i couldnt find him there though, but its wikipedia so its not 100 percent accurate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dual-code_rugby_internationals

On wiki it has him as a rugby league player that now coaches rugby union!

Andrew leeds. john muggleton,tony melrose....all great payers but not dual international players. In the modern era probably ricky stuart was best converted dual international as a player.Definitely not as a coach though.lol

Today's channel seven 4.30 news reported Cooper rejected latest deal from ARU, maybe there's a chance yet
