I disagree, take one good season add a healthy dash of media 'beat-up' and you have yourself a recipe for the next batch of Superstars.

Not overly
Quote Dico="BrisbaneRhino"The NRL WILL produce star players for sure. But who, exactly are the real 'star' players right now'"
Off the top of my head you could add - Prince, Hunt, Rodgers, Bowen, Hayne, Stewart, Minichello, Smith, Anasta, Asotasi, Wing, Gidley, Price, Petro to your list. And there's a plethora of young blokes waiting for their chance such as the exciting 7's making a name for themselves Sandow, Wallace & Pearce.
Look, without a doubt it sucks when the NRL loses a big name. I just can't be sucked in to all this dooms-day talk that the game is in crisis. All the drama helps sell newspapers. Rupert's men are hardly likely to play that down are they?

LOL, the game seems pretty strong in QLD at the moment. Especially the last 3 years running

I say get rid of St George so the wealth of junior talent coming from the 'gong is stifled by mediocrity. Long live the Steelers
