Are the Australian rugby union "richer" than the NRL? They lured Israel Folau from the Brisbane Broncos via the AFL. I guess he didn't change codes twice for love.
And whats with Sonny Bill Williams? He quits league to be an All Black then turns up back as a Sydney Rooster. Are the 2 codes becoming interchangeable.

Personally though whilst we are on the subject I'd like to see the grandparent rule scapped. I think its a nonsense. I think to be picked if you where not born in a country or/and a citizen you should at least either have lived there for 5 years or have at least a parent from there. Simie. |

In the case of Sonny Bill I think he simply prefers League? I think he left the Bulldogs with the aim of wanting to play for the All Blacks in a world cup. Don't forget he turned down a huge pay offer not to stay on in France and play for the Chiefs so he was eligible for All Black selection. Now with his move this season to the Roosters where he has made a successful transition back to league, one has to remember what a huge thing it is for a Kiwi to turn away from the All Blacks whist still in your playing prime. But as I believe he"s only on a one year deal with the Roosters will be interesting to see if he stays? Simie. |
