[QUOTE="redunderthebed, post: 202329"] Most of the players that would come to england have played a few years in Australia at least so money wouldnt be a *huge* issue therefor they are less dependent on the income they get from the club so they can get a better deal via the exchange rate between the pound and the Australia dollar (so if your figure is correct and the lower end is about 150-100,000 pounds they can make at least a couple of hundred k).Not to mention if your contract if up for review and your club wants you to take a paycut to fit in the salary cap and shorter contract and you might have a couple of season of league in you. So you can make more money than you could in Australia for longer.I see it all the time Brett Hodgson going to shudds and Michael Crocker going to Hull come to mind. I dont see it as a threat to NRL we will always have the best talent Australia has however financially struggling sydney clubs might be looking over their shoulders (as they have done for generations against clubs like easts and manly and have survived) next time one of their big players comes off contract. Thats where the fear-mongering will come from Dan. [/QUOTE]
