We could've been France's 2nd club : Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:02 pm
Historically we've had challenges in getting top draw players from the north down to play for us. Just thinking about what Melbourne have been doing since they were in the NRL and that's using some Queensland teams as a feeder/reserve team. Many of their top players including Billy slater came through this route. Why did we not think outside the box when we were in SL and partner with the French Rugby League or one of the major clubs in France to act as a pathway to pro rugby league.
Now the rabbit is out the hat and a number of SL clubs are looking to France to bring into top grade. Another opportunity lost.
