Allyour points are valid ones Gerringong, share your frustration, but stay strong by seeing how our team bonds in unity.
NRI- read Greenburg--don`t want JH to come back to the Eels. Jarryd should tell him its the Eels or Rugby Union. Because the other codes are eating into crowd numbers the NRL will not want JH to go to union. So there is some leverage there that may help us.
Exactly Rob, there's a lot of leverage if jarryd was to spell it out in no uncertain terms, "For me it's Parra or Ruggers!
If he plays for Fiji he can't play for Australia which makes his value in Rugby Union zero. Unless of course he wants to play club rugby in France.
He could still play for any of the franchises in Rugby anywhere in the world, would still get better money than in the NRL
As I said, only in France. The way Union pays in Australia is when you play for Australia. They pay very little at a franchise level, thats why the ARU have to sign off on the big contracts because the majority of their pay packet comes from the ARU not the Waratahs etc. Players like Izzy etc are actually on ARU contracts.
