It’s a myth about the money in the ESL. It really is. NRL players either go there at the back end of there career or players who can’t get a starting position here. There may be one or two elite players who earn good money in the ESL but for the most part they are earning far less than they would earn here if they were good enough. I’ve no idea about union but again there aren’t many quality players plying there trade in Union who could still cut in the NRL.
Take out the NRL player development though and all that changes
