Quote: Catalancs "What exactly was this?
Just found this,
O'Neill trying to talk Union up.
A bit like Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
In another article he's crapping on about how he won't poach any more NRL stars unless they "come for the challenge on an incentive based contract".

If they go, they go for the dough.
I also like when he says "Union is emerging from a trough", what a load of rubbish. Union is deep in the trough in Australia and still on the downswing.
They haven't yet hit rock bottom because all he has to talk about is Rugby League.

I like how he didn't offer one bit of evidence for the "emerging from the trough" crap.
Perhaps because he had NIL

| If you look closely you can see O'Neill working his jaw muscles hard whenever Gallop is talking...
Alan Pease anyone?

Although he clearly thinks it, he wouldn't admit it unless he was placed on the rack and stretched considerably...

And that's the funny thing, for all Gallops flaws, some people about 6/7 years ago wanted this muppet O'Neil to run RL, he'd have killed it in two ways...
Incompetence and vengefulness, the guys a complete c0ck.

For sure, the merkin would murder RL on purpose if he had the chance.

| oneill is the man to thank for destroying rugby union in oz
he blew $40 million in their funds and now the sport is saddled with salaries it cant afford
hes playing extra bledisloe games in hong kong, more test matches and club games to cover the financial holes
still the game just keeps shrinking
the collapse in bledisloe ratings by 50% is a major problem for them

| messenger i played the game for 10 years are you saying i was just pretending to like the game!!! ha! going to the warriors play the storm later this month and world champ kiwi's vs the nation that used to world champs at the new melbourne stadium in may! if your going? ill met you before the game you can call me names to my face if you want?
anyway just saying gallop until this year has done little in regards to expansion or improving tv coverage for people outside nsw and qld! he wants a well paid gig on the new commision thats his angle in my opinion. good that he is finally doing his job tho better later than never
