Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Really? So, let me have your alternative fact interpretation of this quote
So first you broke the T&A article into three sections, commenting separately on each. Then when challenged about your interpretation of one of those quotes (in order to suit your own agenda), you throw a different quote back? Interesting debating technique.
For what it's worth, I agree wholeheartedly with Beattie when he says that kids can't compete with hardened Championship players. Anyone with a basic understanding of human physiology would say the same, regardless of any rugby league knowledge - to say or think otherwise would be ridiculous.
My comment was aimed at your belief that the owners are not communicating with Beattie. I don't believe (from the T&A quote) that you have proof of this.
