Quote: Paul Youane "
Can somebody pull together a list of all the British Super League players who are moving to the NRL and rugby union this close season. Plenty of talk about players moving etc but Matty Russell apart I'm struggling to think of any.

British players are in demand from lesser tier clubs in Aus, Snitch of Cas , Petersen and Sheriff of Hull KR , Ainscough, Mitchell of Warrington and a few others are trying their luck down under to add to the half dozen in the top flight NRL ( a number that is only going to increase , maybe starting with Mr Hock)
The league would only be strengthened massively by having such as Burgess x4 , Graham , Widdop , Eastmond, Tomkins playing SL rather than where they are.
Over the last couple of seasons likes of Leuluai, Finch , Lima , King , Pelo , Mcguire , Johnson , Moa , Eastwood , Berrigan, Carlaw , Buderus, Sa , Greenshields , Fa'alogo , Newton etc etc have all gone back to play in the NRL or Union , to be replaced by dross on the whole.
Add to this the fact that under the current system of operation we we will never again see top class Rugby Union players or even the promising ones like Offiah come to SL and it has sent the standard of SL one way only and it is not upwards.
