[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 796371, member: 12207"] The player drain was an issue in Australia too obviously, but Union realised it wasn't in a position to do much about it I suppose and the whole notion of banning players who associated was abandoned long ago. For the record, I'm not absolving the RFL in the UK of any responsibility; League in the UK since Union went pro seems like a basket case from the outside looking in and ironically seems to have fallen folly of the same mistakes that Union have made in Australia; namely limiting their presence too much to pay TV and not investing sufficiently ing properly engage supporters beyond their base. All the same, League in England is still a richer game with more talent to choose from the Union is here in spite of that. [/QUOTE]
