Quote: puroresu_boy "It's not great.
It's funny as the NRL is being questioned due to the bottom 8 sides not competing but those bottom 8 sides are way ahead of SL.
The top NRL sides are playing a different sport to what we see in super league. The standard has dropped massively and year on year seems to get worse.
I've never not watched so many games in a season but i get my fix watching NRL and watching SL after is a difficult watch.
I'm really not sure how the standard can get better when the days of signing top players in from Australia are over and anyone decent on this side of the world coming through will be snapped up quickly by an NRL club.'"
Totally agree mate, I usually catch at least one NRL and I’ll not bother with a “standard” SL game nowadays, the two leagues are night and day. We’re in a real catch 22 as you say, no top Aussies come over here anymore due to exchange rates and the NRL salary cap and we don’t have enough people playing in this country to produce top line talent in depth. I’m hoping the World Cup and/or IMG can jump start the patient because it’s on life support at the moment sadly.
