Quote ="Dunbar"Serious question... have Burgess and Ellis improved by playing the NRL? In the UK, we always say that playing in the NRL will make so and so a better player but I'm not sure that is the case – sure, they may be playing in a more competitive league and get used to the week on week intensity but are they actually better players
I have seen both Ellis and Burgess play in NRL games and I don't see any skills that they didn't possess when in the UK (in fact, I think the NRL has blunted Ellis's attacking game a little)'"
They've improved IMO, especially Ellis. They are better players because of the intensity of the weekly rounds over there, playing against better players. Some players would struggle in the NRL, but I think think these 2 have excelled
