Quote: NickyKiss "It’s such a shame that all the clubs with good academies look to be getting targeted for raids from down under now. Losing the new breed of stars, like KPP, Pryce, Dodd etc would be tough to take. These are the guys who should be driving this league forward.
The only upside of it is that the international side should see the benefit and we need to ride that for all it’s worth. It’s tough to do that though when the country who is picking these lads off has little interest in competing.'"
The Aussies have been after KPP and Havard for a while. Harry Rushton is doing well down there. Dodd knows his "value" and won't be afraid to ask for top $. Whether Saints will or can afford to match it only time will tell. It's a shame that we have to lose top talent but I never blame players for taking the opportunity, they're only a couple of injuries from seeing their potential earnings nosedive.
