some league players switch but its not that many really,

league forwards are not built for union and many backs just dont like it or just dont have any interest RU, a bit like most of the fans.

Theres still a strong sense of us and them between the 2 codes.
What country are u talking about? In Australia they don't get a bigger TV contract...

Super14 isnt on free to air TV either.. and the total amount of viewers for the entire S14 season in Aus was 2.3 million, last weeks origin alone rated 3.3 million viewers so 1 game of RL beat the entire Super14 season.
