| Whilst I'd rather our best talent say in the Superleague, I can't help thinking that the odd big money move to the NRL will help our sport stave off rugby union's moves for our lads.
A number of league lads have had dissapointing moves to Union - Pryce, Walker, Smith & Eastmond for example. One can only assume they were after the big bucks of international money. With a pot of gold offered in Australia, I think it will help stave off that temptation to gamble on a code switch, knowing if they're as good as they think they are, there's good money in Aus for them without having to learn a new game.

| It will make it a much easier pill to swallow if Sam goes to the NRL. We can still enjoy watching him play this great sport as well as him turning out for England. I really cant see him going to Union and to be honest part of me expects Joel to come back to League next season.

| What I can see happening in the next year or two is for Sam to dump the Pies for a few years in Australia,then come back to England to sign for the mighty Wire, his boyhood club.

| That may be right.
Sam goes to Aus when he's 25. Plays there for six or seven years as Moz did then returns with Wire signing him at 32/3 on a four year deal.
His age is right for a Wire signing so that might not be far off!

Thanks. This is a depressing thread, but that cheered me up.
