A few nights ago on Shootout, Cahill exhorted Aussies plain overseas to come home for regular game time under good coaches. He was talking up the quality of HAL coaches with uniform  methodology,  consistent with Ange's Socceroos.

The only problem is he is making a fortune playing in the HAL. Most other Aussie players would have to drop their wages markedly to play HAL football.

Having spent the last few years soaking up all the cash he could find in the USA and China, and having only returned to Australia because of the massive marquee deal the FFA was willing to support - it's a complete piss-take for Cahill to turn around and say anyone should be coming home.

I love it when Victorians, Western Australians and South Australians discover that AFL isn't the centre of the universe, and nobody outside their insular, parochial states gives a shit. It really is quite beautiful.

I reckon its even worse for qldrs and nrth nsw nrl bogans

Has anyone got the nrl stats?

How so? League is legitimately played overseas and AFL isn't. Now whether the average NRL bogan knows/cares about who's on top of the PNG or French RL comps ATM is another matter, but you get the point.

In one way it is hypocritical.

On the other hand it is good him talking up the HAL.

Until this article, I didn't realise the disparity between what players earn overseas, particularly The Gulf and China, compared to Australia  - Cahill being  the notable exception.

Well Aussie-rules is played in a few countries but as far as I know they're not professional ( but then we could call the NPL players non-professional ). Having said that most of their teams would have trouble beating most of our high-school teams, and many just play in parks with rules made up by ex-pat Aussies.
