Quote: Andy Gilder "How do you figure that out?
The NRL has a significantly looser salary cap than SL for example, with all sorts of large third party deals being exempt and "marquee player" status.
If rugby union or AFL are prepared to throw ridiculous sums of money at young men who have never played their game before, let them. I'd rather NRL (or SL) clubs didn't bankrupt themselves trying to pay unsustainable salaries to specific individuals.
The game in Australia will be around long after Karmichael Hunt (and potentially Greg Inglis) have left it, such is their production line of talented young players.'"
you could put out a back division of Byrne, Hunt, Inglis, SBW, Folau Barnes, Gower and aother of Rogers, Tuquiri, Gasnier, Tahu, Sailer, Paul, Harris who went and came back That would match any back division in the RL world today. That doesnt take into account the likes of Hape, Ashton, Estebanez, Thorne, Myler, MacDougall or Cross who would still get a gig in RL
Its pretty sad that some of the best rl players in the world arent playing RL
