Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

[titoelcolombiano]

PVL can never resist the urge to bite back, no doubt there’ll be a rebuttal from the attention seeking McKlenon

“I am surprised that they’re not trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and Tom Brady given their attention-seeking publicity,” V’landys said.

“I would be more concerned if I was them with the $80 million worth of debt that they have created which puts the whole game in financial turmoil.”

The Australian Rugby League Commission are set to restart talks over salary cap exemptions for rugby union players at their next meeting next month, according to The Daily Telegraph.

“There will be (talks) because we have to look at some exemptions – when the credit card expires there will be a lot of rugby union players looking for a home,” V’landys said

Not everyone loves PVL's rhetoric but f**k I love it because we've been fed a diet in the style of Gallop for so long we've been starved of a leader with backbone.

.... Um, ah, it's ok that the AFL and Union and NFL steal our star players because, umm ahh, there's room for all sports...

Greenberg would have regular chats with andrew demetriou and tell him there was plenty of room for both sports in Sydney

They used to invite afl commissioners to sold out origin games

Little bit disappointed that V`Landys feels the need to trot this out every time the buffoons at the union start their usual embarrassing braggadocio whenever they feel like they`ve had a win.
Ignore them, they`ll only look like fools when we don`t feel the need to even respond, basically they`ll just be shouting into the void.

True but what about signing some union stars like all blacks or Owen Farrell for example if he still plays union

Imagine if the warriors got a few all blacks what that would do for their marketing

Why would we want to? Why waste money (and big money at that) on players that are a gamble? We don’t need their players, we develop enough of our own superstars who are entrenched and developed in league - any Union player would be a gamble. Even ex-RL players who move to Union often struggle to get back to the pace of rugby league after a stint in Union.
Keeping doing what we’re doing, developing youngsters and spreading our development footprint. The way things are heading, a teenage athlete with the potential of making a career out of sport would be mad right now to choose to head down the Union path - as the NRL is the biggest opportunity in terms of both available positions (more teams = more overall players required) and earning potential.
If Union are struggling now, wait another 10 years when they find that all the young athletes are focussing on league at a young age. Their pipeline is getting shut off, ours is opening wider and wider.
We don’t need to waste money on taking any of their established players - we should use that money to reward our own, and show that league is the place to be, at junior level and pro-level.

What Chimp said, plus to add no player is bigger than the game and we keep showing that everytime someone leaves/retires there is someone else to take their place
