| Well Sam did more in 2 seconds to raise the profile of the challenge cup and rugby league than the entire game. I was there on Saturday and work in the south; I am the only Rugby League fan I know. However, after the match a lot of people told me that not only did they enjoyed the match, but wont stop talking about Sams V's.
Naughty, but nice.

| Quote: DaveO "And why would that stop them going to Union? Or wanting to stay down under?
The basic problems are RL is a lower paid sport and has not got the International profile. The England Ireland RU game was dire. Compare that to the CC final and it's no contest but the fact our sport is a better spectacle doesn't alter the basic facts and I don't see how two years in the NRL changes that.'"
I agree. I just don't see how sending players to the NRL will advance the UK game. It may give us more of a chance on the international scene, but thus far our NRL 'success stories' - Burgess and Ellis - have done little more in Test matches than their fellow British forwards. And Morley's only memorable contribution was getting send off in the first 5 seconds.
Personally I want the UK competition to be as strong as possible, and that means keeping as many of our star players as we can away from the RU and from the NRL for as long as possible.

| The simple fact is that rugby league needs to get more cash and a higher profile or it will continue to lose a lot of its talent.

| The problem for Sam is he's already won everything the game has to offer.
Ashtons boot deal is likely not far short of Sam's salary not to mention his international fame, something all sports stars desire.
The Union teams arrival in New Zealand generated more headlines than our CC win, god knows what it's going to be like for the next few weeks.

Yeah you are exactly right, he may as well retire now. Greatest RL player ever IMO!
