I would put it at 85% PLUS.
HES/Trublu signed an agreement for 4-5 years with thr NRL, and I am sure 1 if not 2 sequels will follow. The majority of feedback seems to be positive (outside of this forum), and no doubt the sales this games has generated will help provide a building block for future releases. It is unfortunate that Microforte were not up to the task, and hence some 12 months were wasted, and no doubt the majority of Profit for HES was lost as a result of this.
Hopefully, an updated version will come out in 2004.
Anyway, regardless of a sequel, that's enjoy what we have, and be thankful for Santa's early present.
