Since the number of players who have switched to union in the last 10 years isn't that far behind the number who've gone to the NRL, and would involve a decent pay rise without relocating to the other side of the world, I would say most of that 80% would consider RU too.

Whilst I feel that the players have some fair and genuine grievances, let's not forget that this is the same group of players that have tried and failed on more than one occasion to set up an effective players union that could have influenced many of the issues that they complain about.

The work by people like Gareth Carvell is commendable, but if the players want to have a bigger say, they need to be more more proactive about being a part of that decision making.

not everyone has made it in union of even settled abroad
