I wish they'd concentrate on the French and Russian up and Comers (Instead of leaving it to French Union *Sigh*)...But then again, it's not like Aussie clubs are buying up any PNGers...

An improvement in the Strength of the English league can only help our game. As long as ours isn't substantially weakened. I'm the NRL will survive the grevious loss of Super Mac and Dorny...

I wish my club would do more of it.
They are just doing what all NRL clubs do anyway.
Juniors are a thing of the past.
One club develops them 14 chase them.

If they keep trying they might end up succeeding one day.

Tony Martin is about the only Australian who has gone to England who wasn't a pensioner, a nuffy, or both and let's face it he's good, but not top shelf and is now back in the big time. They do a bit better with Kiwi's that the Warriors don't want anymore for some reason though.

So how do you suppose we make senior players? Create robots? Although an interesting concept I think I'll stick with the human version for now...

I thought a retart was a hooker who was back on the game after an unsuccessful attempt at a career change.

Looking at his forum name, it's possible English isn't his first language I suppose.

there still playing RL and as far as i am concerned that is the bottom line, for to long Australian clubs have shown pig headedness to the RL world now it's time that the rest of the world bites back.

I dont have a problem with it.

The ESL is the perfect place for our pensioners and reserve graders, where they can take the money and places of young Englishman chumping at the bit for an oppurtunity.
