We all know that, but I saw a story in passing that put it into perspective (also the difference in money, but that's for another day). Rugby league - especially the State of Origin between NSW and Queensland - is hugely popular here but by god it is rough....

"A side worth an estimated $14.67 million, that has a combined 87 Origins to their name with two Dally M Medals, three Clive Churchills and two Wally Lewis Medals.
The only problem: None of them are fit to play in Wednesday night's series opener.
This year's Origin series is by far the most decimated by injury in the concept's 34-year history."
At least in figure skating, some of our best and brightest are available to compete at any given time!!!
$14 Million Side Of Injured Stars Who Could Win Origin
So great is the impact of injuries ahead of State of Origin I, an 18-man team of stars unavailable for the series would not fit under the NRL's salary cap.
