[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 796542, member: 39190"] I don't know that it would directly negatively effect Union in SA though. I'd imagine Union would have such a financial head start on any other contact sport in SA that if any player looked good enough one of the bigger unions would/could simply buy them out. The way I see it is League would for all intents and purposes just be another player development resource for Union without having to actually invest in it. I mean Union is so entrenched I can't see League being a hindrance from a spectator/player drain POV, not in comparison to our other issues (political interference and player drain to richer clubs).
