I have played, coached, Refereed, and held every position on committees of Rugby League Clubs. The great game of Rugby League has been a huge part of my life. I love the game! Most of the people I have encountered through the game, are absolutely the most impressive people that you could wish to be involved with. Volunteers!! Good, honest, hard working, trustworthy, selfless and reliable, Mothers, Fathers, or just very community minded folk. The common love between them? Their love for this great game! Driving on a freezing winters morning, to pick up up the canteen/caravan from its frozen block, meeting your fellow volunteers, for a quick coffee, and then when the sun starts to appear, everyone heads off to set up for the day. Marking out fields, setting up the posts, warming the pies, if you have been there you know!!
I hope I am not making it appear to be fruitless, because it is far from that. I would not have missed it for the world!!
It just saddens me to see this wonderful game fall!! And it is falling. but only at the top level. Mainly due to the fact that there are people who have been given the great privilege to take care of the game for a while who somehow think they own the bloody game. The stupidity of them!! Rugby League is what it is because it has been the peoples game.
Its not just the current NRL committee or commission or what ever they choose to call themselves, that I refer to, its most of the players, its the people who run the clubs!! Self centered SOBs.
Anyway I have wasted enough time, I am not going to waste anymore on the NRL. I will be on the hill at the local park games every weekend, and if they need someone to make coffee or run the line, I will be more than happy to do so, just don't talk to me about who signed where or who wants out there within the NRL, because I don't give a crap!!!
