Over 17 weeks. Remind me, how many rugby players made the change. But let's be fair, dim millenials don't have the attention span for RL. NFL does give them the opportunity to text in between downs and wonder off and get a burger in between time outs. A) no mouth watering amounts of money, people are starting clubs or university teams through love of the game. Someone wants to start a team, they apply and get support and ate welcomed, in RL a team applies and you only get support and welcomed if your close to the M62! B) hundreds of Rugby players are making the switch that is where the players for all the amateur clubs are coming from. RL did this and got growth but then threw it all away to 'focus on the heartlands' C) insulting younger generations for using online systems by posting in an online system is hypocritical.

Sometimes loyalty is more important than money. (Cue Grace anouncing he will play for England ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he should look to play for Wales at major events. England could play Wales annually as a major event but dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
