True, although living in Europe might sound appealing, It is very hard to go past Australia for lifestyle especially if you are a sports person and particularly a Rugby League player as Union may be more popular than League over here in europe but it is well behind Soccer (FOOTBALL) and even Gaelic Sports in Ireland. Very few Rugby Union players are household names in every household like these guys are in NSW and QLD and the travelling the world thing wears thin living out of hotels for weeks on end, especially because they don't get out on the drink like the old Kangaroo Tours did. Nowadays its hotels and scientific dietary requirements hanging around disused wedding venues in the hotel whilst waiting for kick off and spendinh months away from home. Would rather be a local hero in Aus on big cash and then retire for Catalan, Toronto or a super league club. Best of both worlds.Given the lifestyle I would learn to live with the disappointment .... I am sure they offer counciling ....
