Good to see the game receiving proper remuneration after the long period of News Limited obstruction.

[b:1crbsr9w] Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021! Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022! [/b:1crbsr9w]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18302.png



Quote: Biff Tannen "Cuthbertson - not a superstar in the NRL, while he was seen as solid he has surprised a lot of people this year and he wasn't talked up before he came here by rival fans.

Kelley - not really a top player there lets be honest (i know you have a man crush on him

Beg to differ on some of those players. The fact that Parramatta as a team were poor has nothing to do with the quality of individuals. For example in 2014 the Parramatta back three were Jarryd Hayne, Semi Radradra and Kenneth Sio. Jarryd Hayne was in that year the Dally M winner (with Johnathan Thurston), and Semi Radradra was Dally M winger. Kenneth Sio scored a bucket load of tries in that year, and was overshadowed only by Radradra in the team scoring. No doubt Parramatta could not compete with Hull KR's offer when carrying the other two's salaries (Hayne only announced his departure in October 2014). I watched Sio in that year and could see that he was class. He has proved it in SL.

Albert Kelly had a great reputation in the NRL as an attacking half back. He was only released by Gold Coast because they were worried about him being injury prone (which he is).

Luke Walsh was a very good scrum half at Penrith. He was released because Penrith could get Peter Wallace from Brisbane (who in turn replaced him with the outstanding Benjamin Hunt), possibly because of salary cap reasons with an expensive roster already in hand.

You ignore the fact that some quality players are let go by NRL clubs not because the players are not very good but because of salary cap reasons, such as the fact that over time NRL clubs have to increase some players' salaries (e.g. because of representative achievements) and then find that they cannot keep all their very top players when competing with big counter offers (Sydney Roosters releasing James Maloney to Cronulla and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to NZ Warriors are good examples). That is also why some mid career stars get released from the NRL to Super League.

This will undoubtably see more top players going to the NRL. Still it's better than them going to union.

Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "This will undoubtably see more top players going to the NRL. Still it's better than them going to union.'"


Super League is lucky (and rugby league in general unlucky) that the NRL did not expand the number of clubs by two or three. It would have seen a massive exodus of current Antipodean import stars from Super League back to the NRL by 2018. As it is, should Elliot Whitehead, Joseph Burgess and Benjamin Garcia be successful in the NRL-- and I think that they will -- expect some NRL clubs to start scouting the ranks of Super League for more English and French talent to import. (I certainly hope that some NRL scout finds Lucas Albert before he is much older, so that he can be properly coached into becoming a world class five eighth for France)

If the NRL salary cap was to double from $7M to $14M (the last tv deal was worth $1billion this one is $2billion) how would that compare with the salary caps of rival codes, Aussie rules, super15 rugby, French and English rugby union?

The NRL and ARL are very similar, NRL up 69% to initial 1.8 billion dollars, ARL up 67% to initial 2.5 billion dollars. I seem to remember the ARL about 5 years ago had a massive marketing and advertising campaign which increased attendances and deals massively, our RFL at Red Hall are not on the same page with marketing so I suppose you reap what you sew.
