| Quote: Hudd-Shay "If you watch NRL what stands out a mile is the amount of South Pacific Islanders playing, they are absolute machines with not a little skill. I know this incurs extra costs but it seems to me to be a gold mine waiting to be Tapped!
The minimum wage for an NRL player (one of the squad of 30) is set at roughly £55,000. With a few players on a reported £700,000 (both excluding certain allowances and bonuses). Their second tier system reportedly pays around £40,000 to players "destined for NRL' and a lot less for those past their prime and still playing. Junior players can be on basics of £25000. In a lot of cases there are also "linked" jobs.
It means that for a young islander (or even an Australian) the move to the UK not only produces a significant cultural upheaval but also a potentially lower wage, unless they are going straight into SL.
As a consequence we tend to only appeal to players who
- have failed to make it into 2nd tier and still want a bash (often end up in the Championship)
- those that had a go and failed (nearly always end up in championship)
- some who never tried but simply ended up in England!!
- NRL players towards the end of the careers and offered lower local contacts than SL will offer
- NRL players who have "problems". These can be of all types but often tend to be player who think they are worth more than they are offered in NRL or those with discipline/criminal issues.
- Marquee players where our salary cap allows flexibility
Appreciate that some will not fit this list, but shows why it can be very hard now to get them.
On top of which we now have major issues in getting players visas, something significantly simpler for French based clubs

| I would guess travel has been a problem again with Robinson, both for player and possibly the club - a pity because I think with Keyes they could have formed a very good half back partnership. As with all players leaving can't afford to be sentimental as long as their replacements are a step up in quality. Possible Jouffret may offer that ,- have to say wouldn't be thrilled if it ends up being Aston.
