NRL & ESL sister clubs

With the NRL being stronger than the English Super League do you think a sister club format would work where an NRL club & Super League are able to exchange players?

NRL club sends up & coming fringe & lower grade players to the Super league club & in turn the Super League club sends out players that may want to challenge themselves in the NRL

Example

Brisbane Broncos - London Broncos
NZ Warriors - Wigan Warriors
St. George Illawarra Dragons - Catalan Dragons
Wests Tigers - Castleford Tigers
Penrith Panthers - Halifax Panthers
Gold Coast Titans - Huddersfield Giants
Canterbury Bulldogs - Batley Bulldogs
Cronulla Sharks - Leeds Rhinos
Sydney Roosters - Hull KR
South Sydney - Hull FC
Parramatta Eels - Bradford Bulls
Manly Sea Eagles - Sheffield Eagles
Nth QLD Cowboys - Leigh Leopards
Canberra Raiders - Widnes Vikings
Melbourne Storm - Salford Red Devils
Dolphins - Warrington Wolves
Newcastle Knights - St. Helens

I'm not sure SL clubs would be happy to lose their star players to NRL clubs in return for some Jnr players needing experience before they move back to the NRL!

Can't see how a star ESL player playing QLD or NSW Cup would benefit their comp.

And why punish Australian players by sending them to Northern England?
