Why keep a player if he doesn't want to be here?
R360 is real and if i was a player I wouldn't say no its a bigger threat to super rugby and other comps some league players will go.
Personally as a rugby fan its exciting. As a league fan its scary.
Season doesn't start till October maybe valadys should get into bed with them and allow players to ho on short term contracts like the IPL and T20 comps let players go maximise there earnings.
That will never work. Clubs won't risk injuries by allowing their players to play for another code. Can you imagine the uproar if Lomax or any marquee player, does their ACL and has to sit out a full season of NRL. I can't see that happening.
Some clubs that are desperate would agree to it. Doesn't mean they should but the R360 season is really meant to be April to September. So doesn't work anyway.
R360 Competition starts in early October so players wouldn't be able to play NRL finals as they would be in pre season for their rugby club.
Cricket is a bit different as you don't have to build combinations and learn different attack and defensive structures as a team. Coming from league if players go to rugby without proper training they injured themselves in scrumsbamd other technical aspects of rugby.
Ok League lose a few good players, the game will be fine.
More like 30 or 40 of the NRL's elite players. Think Walsh, Hass , the hammer, all thr big names. That will be very detrimental when the Vlandys is at the tv deal negotiation table. It's going to be a super league type war. I feel Vlandys will have to pay loyalty payments for players to stay.
People will still watch league. The product will still be valuable. Many argue the games players are not as good as it used to be, we had a period of a team winning 4 straight and the game rates better than ever. A period where we had 3 GF winners in 9 years, game grew more and more in ratings.
Game will move on, might even take a hit but will be fine. Only thing I think it impacts is expansion for now.
Exactly right chief it's why NZR are shitting themselves here if R360 come in and offered Walsh 2 mill US a season and the targeted a lot of the stars in the game to switch I mean your absolutely stupid not to at least look at it.
This is the reality of professional sport players get in earn there coin set themselves for life.USD tax free if they set themselves up right there's not a hope in hell nrl are competing with that no chance.

Would you say Lomax had more impact for us than JAC? Just asking.
I'd say Lomax.
Purely because of the yardage game he gives you it's that important in that respect.
