I have just seen on the text that James ROBY is putting his name out there to move to the NRL as is James Graham. Yes its good internationally but would more players leaving for the NRL reduce the quality of super League. Do we think this is a good thing for SL?

silly question.....


oh you want an answer?

yes

why is it silly, losing all our top players to the NRL could have a detrimental effect on the quality of the games we watch?

Has the NRL been affected by the players it has lost to Super League?

No but there are some slight differences. They dont tend to lose there best players to SL usually come towards end of there career or not geting regulary into teams in NRL, And they do have a lot more depth as it is one of their major sports.

our international side screams out for this to happen though

If Roby & Graham go it's a good thing for Leeds.

Ignore Loz who can't think for himself.

It would be a massive let down for super league, and personally I hope it doesn't happen. It would be a great pick up for the international team from an individual perspective, although unless every player who plays for the country is in the NRL then it would still be a pointless exercise, as the players they would play with the International team (who were not NRL) would probaly reduce in quality.

I know it does and i agree, but I personally dont mind some players going but I would hate to see a large exedus of our players to the NRL as I think it could have a effect on the standard of games that i watch week in week out!

The problem with it if it was those two individuals who have been mentioned, is that they don't really have much of a problem competing with the Aussies anyway. It would just mean that England's pack would have Ellis, Burgess, Roby & Graham all from the NRL, which wouldn't really improve our international game that much in all seriousness. Our pack is pretty decent now. Ok, it would move beyond "Pretty Decent" to awesome, but still, it's our backs that need seriously improving and none of those will be moving to the NRL because they're not good enough.

It's a Catch 22 situation really. The players that would substantially improve with a season down under are the ones that aren't good enough to attract the move in the first place.

They only want the players that are already doing a half decent job of compete with them. Thus, no great improvement to the England side if you think about it that way.

Oh please!

TOTALLY AGREE!

who has Billy Slater ahead of him
