I note that one of our SL colleagues has seen fit to pass comment on here. For some home truths about how RL is run as a business, read the 'Quote/Unquote' feature in the programme for the Sheffield game! I have extracted some quotes about how RL is doing 'as a business' from an interview with a SL club chairman. He doesn't think everything in the garden is rosy - for any of them!

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q] [b:5a56um9q]George Orwell [/b:5a56um9q] [i:5a56um9q]There are none so blind as those who will not see.

I've only just caught up with this thread but what a great find. By his own admission Murph will admit to not being the cleverest man in the world, but he does know about rugby league. He knew it then and he knows it now. If only our club would take a bit of notice of what he has to say - they might learn something, however they think of him as some kind of dinosaur and that what he knows only relates to the past. They're so wrong and if only they'd take the time to listen to him they'd realise this.

As he often says, 'There's only so many ways to score a try, or kick a goal - so why try to complicate things?' If only we had a few players who knew what those 'ways' were, to score a try!!

Quote: Scooter Nik "I assume then that we can live without paying players, charging at the turnstyle, taking money from Sky etc etc?


Nope, thought not.'"


If you want to talk about whether professional sport or semi-pro sport is a business or not is another matter.
