Quote ="Paul Youane"I never said it would. The question was how to compete at international level.
The question of how to raise the level of Super League to that of the NRL is a whole different puzzle that is probably more difficult to achieve if its to be done hand-in-hand with the levelling out at international level.'"
Sorry, I probably didn't phrase that correctly. What I meant to say was that, given you think that 'dumbing down our own comp' would harm us at International level, don't you think that the sending our best players across to the NRL would have the same impact? We may end up with a couple of 'better' players, but as the overall standard of the SL would by definition be worse, the strength in depth would be compromised irrepairably. In other words we'd end up with a couple of decent players and a sea of dross.
