I guess the reason so many RL players go from GPS schools back to rugby league is that once they have played in the first XV for Joeys/Kings/Riverview they have achieved the pinnacle of rugby union achievement in Australia
It's also that at the initial level for young players, its easier to make a quid from rugby league than it is in Union. Have a look at how well paid players in Jersey Flegg squads are compared to comparable levels in Union. Even the NZ Warriors have noticed how much easier recruitment has been since they entered teams in SG Ball and Jersey Flegg. They've had players who would have been walk ups for the age group all Blacks instead turn out for them.
