It would appear that the powers of concentration for RL players is much higher than Yawnion because the average ball-in-play time in Super League matches 63 minutes and 20 seconds which equates to 75% of the game time.
Yawnion manages roughly 38 minutes when the ball is actually in play, less than half of the game time.
Numerous world class League players convert to Union, very few, if any, go the other way. If League is the better game this seems quite perverse, but presumably there is a logical explanation for this exodus, although I don't know what it is.
Come on sinkov, the reason is the same as for every other aspect of life ------MONEY!! Yawnion is the rich man's domain whereas League has to fight for every penny it can get.Quote:

This seems contradictory to me Sub, surely the money would flow to the better game ?
Ah, you mean like it does in football. Non-league football is a far superior game to what is played in the Premier League, it allows tackles, doesn't have players falling around like they have been hit by a sniper etc., etc., however, the money flows to the far worse game at the expense of the many clubs struggling to exist.Quote:

The great Will Carling once said his fav sport to watch was the Austalian rugby league State of Origin series between Queensland and N.S.W.... He's absolutely spot on.. 👌
Best league in the world is the PL Sub, that's where the best players are, that's where the money is. By the same logic, the best game is Union, that's where the money is.Quote:

I honestly wonder how some of you make these daft assertions.
Several Rugby Union clubs are currently facing serious financial difficulties.
The clubs in bother include:
Worcester: The first club placed into administration back in September, Worcester’s future is still uncertain despite being taken over by Jim O’Toole’s Atlas Group.
London Irish: The club is teetering on the brink of financial collapse.
Leicester: The club has very shaky financial foundations.
Exeter Chiefs: The club has a total debt of £13m.
Gloucester: The club has a total debt of £27m.
Simply, not enough paying customers have bought into big time Rugby Union.
That's nowt, Burnley Football club alone has more debt than all that lot added together.Quote:
