Part of the Union : Fri Feb 21, 2014 7:40 am  

Part of the Union
The announcement this week that Sam Burgess will join Rugby Union side Bath at the end of the 2014 season should have disappointed all League fans. To see someone as young and talented as Burgess move over to the other code is a massive loss for the game but hopefully is the one that will finally let the RFL know that enough is enough.

Woeful article. Why is the RFL being blamed for this when he is leaving the NRL? They have way more money than us, so if they can't compete with the RU offer, we certainly wouldn't be able to. The NRL and RU are vastly wealthier competitions than ours and that isn't going to change.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

No solutions suggested assuming you think Burgess moving is a problem.

In the end it's down to money, as the article says. But there is no quick fix to generating money. Only hard work and the clubs creating increased revenue. The RFL can do jack about the international game without more money and Ozzie input.
