Georgia would be a pretty cool place to tour. Great experience for a 20 year old that league can’t offer.

Know what’s cooler than Georgia though for a 20 year old?

A low to average NRL salary of 200k at that age. That is going to be the draw. All these guys have the means to travel in their down time and they do.

Most guys in that age bracket would be thinking the state in the USA, not the European nation, when you say "Georgia"

Yeah but league players don’t get to tour overseas in Europe. Money obviously talks though. Would be nice to get more content of the boys on tour.

We exaggerate how much that means these days. Maybe when RL was semi pro it was good as the Wallabies got around further than the UK but it’s not a draw now when they fly themselves business around the world.

A kid in Rugby is more likely to want the idea of living and playing overseas in France or Japan then maybe tour with an Aus side.
