Thoughts on Nudgee's Jack Burton and Denver Bradford heading to France?

Thoughts on this? Both locks were key throughout Nudgee's GPS premiership victory this season, but both are now heading to France, with Bradford joining Montpellier and Burton signing a three-year deal with Racing 92.

I think a move to France could be really beneficial for their development, but will Rugby Australia keep tabs on them while they're over there? Could we see either of them back in Australian rugby in the future? I don't know enough about either player to say how highly rated they are or just how big a loss this is for Australian rugby, so I'd be interested to hear what others think.
