Quote: Sheldon "Because they might not want to leave the uk?
And it hasn't always been financially better in aus.'"
For the top rung of players it has been better financially in the NRL, that is why the Cream of the NRL have not played in England in the last decade.
The Aus dollar has been strong for a couple of years to add to that payday for players.
Maybe they do not want to leave Super League and are happy being big name players in a smaller pond.
I have a lot of time for guys like Ellis that backed themselves for less money, its not about Oz v England or NRL V SL its giving it a go and backing your talent in a League that is generally considered more competitive and more professional.
