Definitely agree the game needs more stars. It's partly our own fault for not making stars of our own players though that in itself is a symptom of the poor international game as its that that creates stars.
I also think we should be looking to poach Union stars at the end of their careers. I don't give a toss what they play like they'll bring much needed kudos and recognition to the sport. In the end if SL clubs signed Billy Slater, Cameron Smith & Greg Inglis virtually no-one outside the RL world would notice or pay any attention.
Sign an ex-England Union player and you'll get some newspaper inches.

[quote="Budgiezilla":3w2ur1db]Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.[/quote:3w2ur1db]:

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg
The commentary does given an awful impression of the sport, especially the addition of awful, inarticulate pundits Barrie and Terry to almost every SL match. I tend to enjoy games far more when Brian Carney is on commentary rather than McDermott/O'Connor, and I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence.
