The point at which it was financially better for someone to play in Australia than SL is when the beginning of the end. Fewer decent Aussies would come here at the end of their careers. Also, the best UK players went down under too.
There also seems to have been a shift in NZ players. 20 years ago SL had lots of current NZ players. Hardly any these days. Very sad

Long season but definitely losing some consistency. The standard of the NRL is fabulous though, it's great to watch. I probably watch more NRL now than i do SL.
