IMO a link up with a NRL team would give us much more than some young Aussie's who fancy trying their hand in the English game. Cherryholme and HALEY both went to Oz this year so it could work, however, I think clubs could benefit in many other ways such as off field stuff. Sharing best practice in marketing, coaching methods and ideas etc. May not be viable financially, but certainly worth a look at.
