Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2304696, member: 1764"] Yeah, because we did that to Hodges - a kid who was being earmarked to replace Wendell Sailor in the starting team in 2002 - when he decided to go to the Roosters. Totally utterly different set of circumstances. Hodges was a rookie. Folau is an established star. Thorn left to Union in 2001. He played Origin in 2000. Sailor played Origin in 2001, was in Union in 2002. Tuqiri played Origin in 2002, was in Union in 2003. I think it's stupid. It's the lame shit that Rugby Union used to do to its defectors back in the pre-90s. The fact is it's a free market these days. Players are fitter and more well rounded skill wise than at any time in history and with money abounding in all 3 major football codes in Australia you are going to have movement between them. Rugby League just needs to accept that that's the case, and devise ways to make staying in league more attractive. [/QUOTE]
