Macavity did you feel that the forum achieved anything, that anyone was listening, or that they would take on board and actually do something about the issues that were raised?
They were listening, but I was very disappointed that those in the crowd nodding along weren't lending their voice to mine. Only one Souths fan actually piped up.
They will fiddle around the edges, sure - but when it comes to the major issues, nothing will change until we reach some sort of tipping point - either one of our "partners" going bust, News pulling out, or people power overwhelming them (all unlikely..). Anyone up for another march?
Can you please confirm a suspicion I've had for sometime please Shane?
Does David Gallop actually walk around with a dictaphone and when a question is asked of him he rewinds the dictaphone to the correct answer and then presses play?
Everytime I see or hear anything from him, it's the same responses "word for word". He must rehearse it in the shower day after day.
He is impressive - it must be hard to speak so much without actually saying anything.
Look, Gallop could possibly be a very good CEO - he is certainly smart enough. However he lacks two things that hold our game back:
a) genuine passion for RL (that was very evident - he made it clear he doesn't believe in the game); and
b) the freedom to do what is best for the game.
Until both of those things change, he is neccessarily part of the problem.
