Yes, as the man who worked with him most, Monie is far from scathing.

Yes you should,
Monie puts most of the blame for Wigans demise down to Jack Robinson.

| I think only Maurice Lindsay could run a club consisting of superego's Lowe , Hanley , Edwards , Gregory who all fell out at one point or another and still get them to do great things Wigan.

| If ML was to be made head of the RFL now-
The international game would be awesome and we would see a great WC in 2013!
RL would be in a much better state in 10 years time than it is now!

| Maurice Lindsay was a visionary and an innovator who had the sport and his club at heart. He's like us - he wants Rugby League on the map as a major, professional sport. Unlike us, though, he did everything he could to put it there.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks, though, and when RL moved on, ironically due to the visions he dreamt of and the changes he implimented, he himself didn't move on, and continued to do things the old way.
You cannot fault the man's commitment, but like a lot of businessmen of a certain age, he didn't modify, and that was his downfall.

You're talking poppycock. I suggest you stop now before you make a fool of yourself.

What he said, Mo was the catalyst to the modern game but wasn't able to cope with the modern game that he visioned.

Couldnt have put it better myself.
Mo has done more for British RL than any other man since they split the codes. Everything good in the last quarter of a century was down to him.
