Quote: Captain Hook "If you were a RL player and you had the choice of going to RU or NRL which would you choose?'"
NRL without a shadow of doubt. Going to RU is a huge risk in terms of being able to adapt. I think if you're going to make a decision to cross codes, it has to be done at the start of a career. If you're in a RL academy team and a professional RU team comes in and offers you a good contract with first team options that aren't there in RL, then it makes more sense. It's worth the investment in time to learn a different game at that stage rather than going mid career when you want to be making an impact immediately and I think a lot of players don't make that impact because they struggle with the transition.
Going to NRL would be the ultimate experience in RL, if you came back to SL you would almost certainly come back a better more rounded player. I think it's great when more English players go over there and it will help the international team. I know people say its bad for the game to lose our best stars but look at France in football, the French league always sends its best stars to the elite leagues and their players are better for it.
