James Roby or Ryan Hall, other than that i cant see anyone else being a "sensation" like Ellis, Burgess and now Graham.

In the future, possibly Lee Mossop, Kallum Watkins or Chris Clarkson.

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.

I don't know what your point is, if a player and his family don't wont to leave the uk it doesn't matter how much they get paid or how greater the comp is.

Believe it or not I know all about the strength of the dollar, I also know how relative it all is considering what the rent I pay in Sydney could get me in northern England.

Players like O' Loughlin are plenty full in the NRL

My opinion is that numerous uk players could make it in the NRL. Even some of our backs, who aren't in the same league as some NRL backs, would easily secure a NRL contract.

To suggest Roby, who the Australian press creamed themselves over during the world cup, couldn't be a top player is laughable.
