[QUOTE="melon, post: 111550"] That's a wonderful idea :) But you talk about the ESL [i]sending[/i] young halves over to the NRL. You have to ask the questions: Who would take them? and why would the NRL take them seeing as though they are young British fellas and haven't monitored them over the years? I suppose the ESL could send them over for trials though. That should definately be supported. But it also comes down to the fact that the NRL is there to produce Australian talent not British talent. Sure, the NRL produces New Zealand talent aswell, but they are part of the NRL. I have just thought of something else: If they do happen to strike up an NRL contract and they perform well, and get their contract extended, they might stay longer than originally intended. I could keep talking about this all day, but it would be drivel that no-one would want to hear lol. It is a good idea though and i'm sure something could be worked out if both competitions wanted it to happen. [/QUOTE]
