loyality to club or fame and fortune.

[Vanhelsing]

Young Rugby players starting Pro Rugby,members of the forum what are your thoughts,loyality to your first club as a Pro and then go for the big pay days and fame and fortune in a new club, or stay with your first pro club?

Life is a bit more complicated than that.

Even Preston North End legend Sir Tom Finney was tempted by a big-money move to Italy back in the day but PNE told him to forget about it.

You'd like to think that someone like Hendy (as a reasonably well-paid international with a settled family life and a faint sniff of actually winning something) would stick around at Ulster in the Rory Best mould, but many players don't have those luxuries.

Difficult to expect loyalty in the pro game when club and country will invariably give little or none in return.

If rugby is going the way of football, there will be no such thing as club loyalty among players. Hopefully it will be a while before we get there. In professional sport the only people with club loyalty is among fans.
