Sorry, I misread it. I meant an Australian NRL team. Each year one (or more) of our top U18/U20 players should go over there on a one (or two) years scholarship.

Why would NRL clubs agree to that? What benefit do they get out of it when they're producing young players 5x as good as ours?

It would be for the long term benefit of the game as a whole, particularly at International level which should be the pinnacle of sport.

I was copying and pasting the numbers, knew i would screw it up somewhere

you know what, thats annoyed me for ages now, its murder reading the league express championship pages and seeing that gary broadbent or darren holt has switched between barrow or whitehaven or workington, again. or ian watson is still playing and doing the rounds. Or the gibbons brothers(i know they've retired).
