EPISODE X: HOPPERS, SWAPPERS, DITCH-JUMPERS

It is a time of transition right across the Rugby League Galaxy.Our heroes are thrust once again into the bitter conflict around rules, the interpretation of them, and the need for weekly apologies from those who enforce them.Some big name players are moving between clubs, codes and countries; offering plenty of opportunities for critics to ignite their lightsabers and swing wildly at the game in general, while the job security of coaches is now the subject of a weekly assurance narrative.One club is bringing a Darth Vader like figure in to enforce the word of law, and the Grapplers assess the value of installing a villain to do a heroes work. We wonder if Liam Neeson is available?And what on earth is an indirect war of words? We'll ask that question, possibly in our best Sean Connery voice.
