Perhaps a bigger question is not WHY are all these Wigan lads wanting to go to the NRL, but HOW are they conning their way into it.
I have been thinking the same thing. The Souths game showed the Aussies have a fine production line of young players. I could understand an Aussie club being interested in signing a player of Lockers calibre (not now of course as he is close to retirement but when he was at his peak) and someone like Sam T was an obvious target but I don't really understand the interest in more junior players.
It's almost standard practice now for any young player who talks about the future to talk about going to the NRL. I am sure it's an ambition but I am not sure why it is realistic. Agents probably fuel a lot of it. Agents only make their money by moving players on but I still don't get why the Aussie clubs are interested in the first place.
