I know that must be true because I've read it in here for years. I've never quite understood for the life of me why RU clubs simply don't recruit more RL players given how superior they are and earning far less money. I'm sensing a tiny bit of sarcasm here....... I don't think anybody (well certainly nobody who actually watches both codes) could argue that RU players don't have a good skillset for the game they play and furthermore that RU would be 'easy' for RL players. But, they are 2 different games and it's not unfair to say most RU players would struggle playing league because of their lack of ability in the areas you mention above. Living in Wales and seeing many lads from Rugby come and have a crack at league I can vouch for that firsthand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future is League Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 On 26/11/2019 at 18:54, iangidds said: The question is he signing? I doubt he will Whats happened is the club are going to give him a pay rise and he didn't even ask for one. The fear of union internationals coming to TGG is enough for any club to give a player a pay rise without asking for one. I expect we will see many rumours in the near future of union internationals coming to TGG, just so they can get a pay rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not as much as he would like as he's a injury prone player, so will stay at Leicester with a pay rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
