Quote: Lockyer4President! "Would you Brits prefer to see guys go across to the RFU or come down to the NRL? I'm just wondering since if they play in the Union comps you can still watch them locally.
In 2013 the NRL clubs are expected to have salary caps which'll dwarf the biggest union clubs so hopefully we'll see more of your guys come down here and join Ellis, Burgess, etc.'"
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
