Anthony how right you are. As someone who has been engaged in the game as player and administrator for over 60 years I have never seen the game in such poor condition. The quality of play at Super level is in the main appalling. School football and club football is where skill and daring is most often on display. The higher levels of Rugby in Australia hardly bear watching. I am now a watcher in the main of “Queensland” only. Note the ommission of the word “Reds” a word that means nothing. The quality, expertise, ability and experience at the top of the game appears to be sadly lacking. These qualities are to be often found in abundance at club level. Such is the rot that has set in that it appears that the ARU and some of the state bodies are teetering on the brink of financial disaster. As for the game itself it is no longer the spectacle it used to be – it is boring. How many of you are forced to watch and listen to commentators as they wax lyrical about the numbers of phases that teams engaage in. It is crash and bash and Rugby League without the six tackle rule and players catching the ball and their opponent at the same time. GOOD RUGBY – I don’t think so. I believe somebody has to take a good hard look at the Laws of the game and the entrenched administrators before it is too late and before we no longer have a
product. Are there people at the top now who are there for what the game can bring to them not what they can bring to the game? Think about it. They will deny it but the results speak for themselves. The evidence is there for all to see.
