Quote: headhunter "Why would it?'"
I was being sarcastic. If you look at Ellis' and Morley's international performanes they were better before they went to the NRL, and Thorman was a great prospect before the NRL coached the flair out of him. The NRL is not the be all and end all. The focus has to be on improving SL, and we're never going to do that if all our best players go to the NRL.
Saying that if him going to the NRL meant he stayed in RL then thats fair enough.
