AFL is lucky not to have any rival codes/overseas comps that poach their players like they do NRL. If there were they would be offered millions just as the NRL players are and would defect just as much.

I think it’s about TV rights and how much money is Nine paying NRL. I think people here don’t understand that Nine has offered AFL a lot more money that they had ever paid to NRL hence these players’ defections from NRL to RU. NRL cannot increase the salary cap without risking a bankruptcy for some clubs. There’s not enough money to keep the players so NRL is at the crossroads now. Should they demand more money for TV rights or merge with RU. I don’t think there’s any other possible solution.
