English Superleague hasn't "poached" any Australian talent for 20 or more years.

It is become a retirement home for older players, or an attraction for those who couldn't secure a NRL contract.

Always amusing when people use the retirement card, then said players return to play in the NRL lol
SL salary cap means the clubs are picking up either young talent that can earn a bit more, old talent that wants to experience Europe life or mid career talent that hasn't quite yet developed but wants to keep developing and return to NRL a better player. Nothing wrong with any of that, it is what it is for where the game is in Europe. At my club we've had a number of seasoned NRL pros that have been total garbage and some fringe NRL players that have been decent committed players.

A Johns said 12 NRL teams seems about the right number at the moment. Rep. rugby is where it's at, we need the 'Roos playing, or i want the Kangaroos playing far more often. We only need a squad of 25 good players for NSW, maybe if more youngsters played soccer, more ppl would watch RL later in life, loads of adults prefer to watch collision sport. Maybe the Rabbitohs can still play at Homebush, would like them to change their name to the Sydney Rabbitohs in any case. And for the Warriors to just be called The Warriors.

A johns might be an immortal, but a forward thinker, he is NOT.. usually if its a play on field I'll take his word as genius, but anything off field he is a dunce... anything to do with amount of clubs, structure of a comp or notion of rationalization he is the last person in the world to take a quote off...he is grade A moron.

How many "mid-career" examples can you name in the last decade? 3 maybe? Its not a trend.

Its hardly "poaching talent".

If it was his decision he would probably cut the Titans, Cowboys, Warriors and Storm and leave all 10 NSW clubs as well, the moron.

Cant do that if the titans are in brisbane, probably the storm too...
Actually he'd relocate the storm to central coast, so he could be closer to his nephew
