| Quote dboy="dboy"But that wasn't the question.
You can't ask "would you move away from SL to the NRL or RU?", and come up with "80% of SL players would go to RU!".'"
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.

| If you're offered more money from another employer, then you'd consider it. We are all aware that RL isn't marketed very well.
Does the Guardian tell us anything we didn't know?

80% would consider it, that does not mean they are actively willing it to happen, I would consider changing my place of work, does not mean I would, all consider means is they would think about it if the opertunity arouse, I am sure if you asked them to consider moving to soccer or NFL a similer number would consider it, the question was not "are you actively hoping/trying to switch to union and do you wish to play union instead.

The players also claim the game doesn't do enough to promote individuals. Here's a thought boys: why not take things into your own hands for a change and, instead of whinging about the RFL, give your agents a kick up their collective ar$e instead?

| Of course the majority of players would consider a change that brought increased financial and other rewards. We have a sport that should be eminently sensible but we just cannot manage it. Thankfully for us we produce so few top class talents that for most NRL or RFU is not really an option. Both have domestic and international production lines that render us redundant.
I would worry more about a system that offers lads of 18 a choice between leaving the game and studying, leaving to find paid work, and an uncertain future of low pay with few opportunities to develop because we have a poor pathway into the professional ranks. I know that Wigan encouraged youngsters to keep studying so that the likes of Paul Prescot had somewhere to go when retiring early but remember that Liam Marshall was in his way to a career in accountancy before fortune took a hand.

Why the sudden change in your new found obsession with union, it's hard to believe after all you've said in the past regarding your love affair with the Saints and all the support you've given them over the years. "cough"
