Regarding the marquee system, I think there has been a noticeable rise in quality of NRL signing over the last year or two. Leeds, Wire, Saints and Huddersfield have all signed players that I suspect wouldn’t have come over three or four years ago. And it may well be that there are British players who are only still in SL because of the marquee rule. It’s been a step in the right direction but isn’t sufficient on its own, IMO.
