SL players earn far more playing in SL than they would to play in the NRL. 20 years ago it didn't matter because the seasons ran at separate times of the year

Well Jordan Tansey, Ian Sibbit, Chris Thorman, Keith Mason, RICHIE MATHERS, Gareth Ellis, Adrien Morley have all gone to the NRL in recent years so I'm guessing theres a fair few who could go to the NRL if they wanted to go.

5 of those are average at best as proved by themselves in the NRL and SL.

Thats my point. If players of that standard can get an NRL gig I'm sure SLs top British players could.
(I forgot to mention Carney as well whom was the top winger in the NRL when over there)

On top of that, just how bad would have been all those years ago if wern't able to bring in the best Union backs over like now?'"
Connolly and Newlove, two of the best centres this country has ever produced and never once let GB down. And you're saying Senior and Gleeson have performed better than they did at test level?! Not sure what Davies being Welsh has to do with anything. I think you need to ask your friends to do some more research for you.

Connolly scored 1 try in 30(?) tests when he was nearly 33. Both him and Newlove were class for their clubs but looked out of their depth at test level, in Newlove's case I think it was more to do with the fact he couldn't be d.
Where as Senior, has a man of the series award to his name and was named one of the best 2 centres in the world over 3 or 4 years.
Davies being Welsh means (obviously) that he wouldn't get into the ENGLAND team.

Aye, but he's Welsh so therefore couldn't be selected for England, so to say he'd get in the England team before the likes of Senior or Gleeson or Pryce is wrong.

I never said you said he would, but I assumed becuase jukesays thought he would. And we all know Fa'asavalu is more English than Davies
