Quote: The_Enforcer "Not watching the game but just seen the score so far. This is terrible for the British game. Saints are without a doubt the best team in SL by a long chalk and cant hack it with an NRL team still in pre season training. Unless something is done quickly to raise the standard of the game over here, we are doomed. Our players are just not as good in any department and every season we seem to be slipping further and further behind.'"
Please explain how we can raise the standard of our game when since the mid nighties when Rugby Union sold it's soul and went professional, we can no longer attract the star players from that code or even sign the best players from Australia at their peak because they if they come here, they will not be considered for International selection.
Our game will never compete with the Australian game now, both on the playing side, especially at International level and more so where finance is concerned unless Sky give our game a contract like they have given to Rugby Union.
The codes have turn full circle and how long will it be before it reverts to being a part time sport again?
