So whose leaving SL for NRL next year? This year was the first time in a decade more players moved from SL to NRL than other way around. So far:



Hock

Mossop

Dobson

Patterson



Unconfirmed Tomkins

Cooper, Richards, a couple of young uns to nzw.

Jordan Baldwinson to NZ Warriors.

I have to question why players are going to Auckland.

The attraction of playing under a top coach.

Obviously. They have heard the rumours about Shaun Wane joining Sam Tomkins there.

I read last week in an Aus paper Bailey from Leeds was being spoken to by an NRL team

thought the Hock move was in doubt?

Have they sacked Elliott?

You can add Lulia to the list from Bradford, and potentially L'Estrange, Purtell and Kearney too

Baldwinson to Aus as mentioned above. Bailey rumoured to be off to Brisbane.



As for why players are signing for NZ, well they're offering big money (I've been told Baldwinson will be on 50k a year) and the tax rae is lower in NZ isn't it?

Vic Mauro and Liam Foran won't be in Nobby's plans for 2014 (Both dropped against Saints last week and not included this week against London) The signing of Junior Sa'u and being also being linked with several NRL players would suggest both will be deregisterd off Salford's overseas quota in September.
