It seems the Dr is very popular in Oz with the whole Melbourne Cup/RL thing. I couldn't give a toss what other fans think of him. Regardless of how things go over the next few seasons he's given us all our team and Club back when it looked like we'd never see them again.
It's interesting to note that the Media and RL Fans thought he was a laughing stock when he came into the sport. He couldn't do anything according to them. Those detractors have slowly ebbed away and as time goes on he wins more of those people over. Whether people like it or not it's nice to see a RL Chairman rub shoulders with the likes of footballers and actors. Engage with the fans, enjoy the banter, cheer on the terraces with the hardcore, seduce the Australian media, and have RL Superstars lining-up to meet him.
In fact, I don't know any other Chairman who does half of those things.
He's a character, but he's no mug either. I think it's great that we're developing the only non-playing RL celebrity in the game.
