Tough for ESL players coming here. I reckon their junior leagues for a player coming up would be easy as shit compared to ours. The gap between ESL and NRL is probably bigger than NSW Cup and NRL, but there's a select few that make their mark. Obviously Sam, George Burgess, James Graham, I thought Gareth Ellis did well for a few years, Canberra's hooker had one good season and just fluffed out - I think the rigours of first grade here definitely effects these guys over time. You can get away with playing mediocre footy in the ESL for a decade. I am pretty sure I saw Westwood still playing this year? The bloke is almost 50 lol
