SO true, just look at the long list of NRL players who have gone home with their tails between their legs, including some high profile internationals, and some average British players gone over there and ripped it up.
What it really comes down to with NRL recruits is application. If they really give it their all or close to then they look great, if they go through the motions then you’d be better off getting a homegrown player for probably much cheaper. Barba is a perfect example of this when you compare his start of the season to the showings at the end of it.
Interesting to see Leeds dust off the cobwebs off the chequebook with a marquee signing and apparently a 2nd to follow. Becomes more clearer that it was the prolonged stadium work which lead to a lack of activity and spending, now that the work is pretty much done and how it’s all being paid for finalised then we know what we can spend. McDermott deserves even more credit for getting as much success out of the squad he had given he wasn’t given the same luxury with the chequebook.
