Is it me or does it seem like a coincidence that Rugby Union are intrested in league players like Joel Tomkins at the same time when England got knocked out of the world cup by France. As far a I am concerned let them throw money at the problem all they like. Rugby League can and will produce replacements like we replaced Ashton alright. However it would help if the salary cap was increased and the overseas qouta was reduced too.

They'll tell you they've switched to Union for "the challenge" and the higher profile international game.

Just try not to be stood in front of them when they do though, their noses might take your eye out.

Money talks.

Obvious troll account is obvious.

It will be one of the saddo previously banned a dozen time losers. Best to ignore.

100% prefer them to go to the NRL

Apart from the fact that it’s the game I support and not the individual players, Rugby Union has a habit of ruining good rugby players. I was talking to a mate of mine at work who (strangely, as he is a normal guy in every other way) is a fan of Rugby Union and we were discussing Jason Robinson. He mentioned that it took Robinson a few seasons to find his kicking game and play like a normal Union full back. I pointed out to him of course that as soon as he became a ‘normal’ Union player, most of his attacking instincts had left him. The reason why Robinson was such a success was that he was a League man playing Union – as soon as he became a Union player playing Union, the game itself drained him of his creativity and attacking instincts
