We've now endured a full week of what can only be described as a full scale attack on Rugby League by all the News ltd media outlets in this country. At every opportunity the Murdoch lackies have sunk the boot into both the administration and the game itself.
Most disappointing has been people like Matty Johns, Mark Gasnier and Braith Anaster. We could expect the sort of tripe being served up by AFL ambassador Rebecca Wilson, and stooges like Kent, Rothfield, Richie and Hooper, but from these former players it has truly been pathetic.
But what all of them have shown to a man/woman is that they only care about their own skins and News ltd signed paycheques. The panic in the voice of the likes of Johns in particular betrays his hollow rhetoric about the "good of the game" - we know based on the FACTS that have been reported in the Fairfax media and on the ABC that the deck is stacked against News ltd more than League - and yet people like Johns think they can fool us into supporting their transparent agenda to both destroy the current administration and reverse the game's hard fought independence.
We now know that Murdoch actively will wage war on behalf of Victorian Rules in Rugby League heartland, so the lies, false sense of panic and smear will continue on our game. So I put it to you that ANY AND ALL self respecting Rugby League fans must stop buying all News Limited newspapers from this point on.
We need these assholes to understand that this war isn't between them and just the NRL, but between them and all fans of our great game.
