sorry....I am 45yrs old, I like my boss, I work for a great comapny, get paid very well and am happy. If the competition came in with 3 times my current package, you could paint me black and call me kizzy....I'm outta here!
Market forces.....and who can blame a young man with a short sports career from cashing in? |

don't be sorry.
Some people will always be driven by money, some won't be.
Whatever makes you happy. |

We have to get a grip on this before it becomes an exodus.WTF is going on in RL in Aus.
If the likes of Hunt,Folau are going to AFL what is going to stop the likes of Inglis,Slater,Hayne or whoever going to that game FFS.

your right, RL has proved to be a resilient beast over the last century! For me its not about whether it will die or not, obviously it won't but about will it grow to be a national sport, will it be the countries No1 footy code, will it ever get its 5h1t together?

we already are number 1.
we beat AFL by 60 million viewers on TV which makes up for the crowd difference in their favour.
and this excludes the tv ratings of new zealand. |

that will only count when it gets translated into $'s. At the moment you can't claim were number one when 1/2 the country doesn't even get to see a game. In probably 4 out of 5 key indicators we are being beaten by AFL. When less than 8000 people turn up to watch a game two weeks running it makes any claim to be the most popular sport in the country somewhat farcical.

i dont care what AFL fans think.
5 years ago i said we were number 1, and since then weve grown further.
we beat other sports ignoring the nz warriors. |

stop living in a dream world and accept the reality that RL is a doomed sport that simply cant compete with soccer, union and afl for fans, sponsorship and money.
it's only a matter of time before the greatest game of all is confined to the dust bin of history. |
