How come a lot of good League players now swap codes to Union?

To be fair I like both codes although being from Gloucester and a big Glos fan prefere Union.

Union is far from Boring, the Ireland Vs England game recently which Ireland just won was a great exciting game. Made me laugh when the Irish hooker lamped the English Hooker in the Jaw and the ref just called it 'Hand bags' if that was footballer (except Duncan Ferguson) they would of been rolling around on the floor for hours.
