Message: [QUOTE="broncos85, post: 2120938, member: 2026"] Like gUt said I feel that the problem is just beginning. While in the past as Hammo pointed out the players that have defected have not been of a great calibre but I just think that with the likes of Gaz and Sonny leaving and mid contract as well, the lure of the big $$$ or maybe massive is a better word will just be too much for a majority of players. I mean $1.5 mill per season is just astronomical when put in the context of what players in NRL recieve now. I just feel that if something isnt done very soon, the recent departures will have just been the tip of the iceberg and we'll soon see players coming through our juniour systems just so the big euro clubs can wave big $$ in their face and our drawcards will keep dissapperaring!! As has been stated b4 we will become a breeding ground for the Euro clubs!! I personally feel that Sonny and Gaz are huge losses both for the fans of the game and the marketability of our product. I feel its naieve to say another Gaz or Sonny will simply come along so we shouldnt worry, we need to stop these players from leaving in the first place so when next superstars come along there playing with the Gasniers and the SBW's to help promote our great game!! We need to do something now b4 its too late!! [/QUOTE]
