| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Now is a dark moment for English rugby league. The three English Super League contenders in contests with Australian NRL teams lost in their matches Down Under. Their was not a glimmer of inspiration from the SL players other than Hull FC's Australian talisman Albert Kelly, who kept Hull FC in the closest game, but losing against St. George-Illawarra 24-18. A full strength Wigan was defeated decisively by a below strength South Sydney 18-8 and Leeds was comprehensively trounced by Melbourne Storm 38-4.
This proves that Super League as now constituted is below the standard of the NRL. Most of the world class English talent is playing in the NRL. The only way to change this situation is to find more player talent pools for Super League. That task cannot be realised in England, where the talent pools are exhausted. It requires new talent pools from France and north America to make Super League more competitive. That is one of many reasons why SL expansion into France and north America is now urgent and imperative.'"
great idea,lets fill our teams with more players who cant play for england,and pump even more of the sky money into foreign bank accounts.

Foreign teams will bring their own money, like Toronto is doing and New York will do.

At least learn to spell people's names correctly before you make wild assertions.

Pedantry is a sure fire sign that you have little left to add (if in fact ou had anything in the first place)

| I was at the game last night and was surprised by how little Wigan offered in attack against a Souths team without most of their superstars. Wigan’s defence was pretty good, but outside of that they were a shadow of Wigan teams of old.
What I noticed of all three games at the weekend was that English teams still suffer from the old curse of not being able to maintain intensity for the full 80 mins. They always go to sleep mentally for 10-15 mins a game and that’s where Aussie teams steamroller over them. As someone who watches NRL games week in week out, until SL teams sort the mental issues out they will never compete at the same level.

Agreed in principle but do we need to seperate the needs of the Super League with the needs of the national team.
This has happened in football, the Premier League is a successful business operation and watched all over the world but the top clubs have few English players.
The three teams competing in this competition have quite a few foreign players anyway, maybe if we raised the salary cap we could bring in better imports but keep the ratio the same.

I agree with this, I think it breeds from the lack of intensity in most Super League matches due to errors and penalties. Also, the time taken at every scrum and goal line drop out. It was very noticeable in the Warrington game the other night that it took 3-4 minutes for them to take the drop outs.
Until we see 3 or 4 high intensity matches per week in the Super League, we aren't going to see Super League teams competing with the NRL teams when they are taking it seriously.
