There would be a whole lot of "lose" I will tell you that much.
I reckon there would be less "lose" if players had more games under pressure. Relative to France and the UK our "development players" are kept in cotton wool. I reckon that is part of the reason why NRL players are seen to be better athletes, the difference is just a lot more practice executing skills under pressure. As the Kiwis see players drift to Europe from the NPC they will start to catch the RA disease.

these kids train so much from u18s to u20s but play no football. Missing games because they participate in aus and gen blue camps.
