[QUOTE="Fa'atau82, post: 228553"] Well, if you ask me it's down to 3 things that makes this gulf between Australia and England. 1. The sport is only played in the North of England. 2. Australia tend to prefer RL as it is more similar to Aussie Rules and all kids grow up knowing how to play footie (not soccer). 3. Far too many imports in Super League. Yet didn't i see that Leeds beat an NRL team in what is the soccer equivalent of the world club cup? So it's not so much the Super League that poses a problem, it think it is purely down to the fact that having a sport played from one region of a country like we do in England, effectively means it's like Wales vs Brazil at soccer, we simply do not have the huge pool talent to challenge, even though we have some great players.
