[QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2887268, member: 8988"] This is a world cup and none of the 1st tier nations lose much from players choosing 2nd tier nations. Compared to them, we all have an unlimited supply of professionals to fill whatever voids are left. Most if not all the 2nd tier teams have players who have never played league at a professional level. Sport is best when it has drama and the underdog atleast has a chance at upsetting the superpowers of the game. Take cricket for example. When the windies were at their height, the cricket grounds would be packed and we would hang on every ball to see if we could knock them off. Now, I barely watch a ball, when they play. We need international league to offer competition before it will ever be more than a fig leaf of "internationalism" for the sport. Even if that means weakening the Australian team. Develop the sport by all means, but a Tonga knocking off a kangaroos or kiwi teams would boost the sports profile more than any number of aging ex-players offering training camps. [/QUOTE]
