Be prepared for advertisements at every game starring Steve Mortimer, saying pokie machines are ok.
Wow.
So because the NRL funding model is so bad that it relies on machines that exploit vulnerable people, it should keep on going.
Shows the moral and ethical values of the NRL administration that they are willing to support this stupid "license to punt" campaign.

NRL CEO David Gallop said that clubs played an important role in attracting kids to the game.
“Last year, clubs
ran 1,130 junior rugby league clubs, and donated $40 million to help fund thepurchase of football jumpers, shorts, socks, trophies, insurance, medical kits, referee outfits and
ground development,” he said.
“
At the same time licensed clubs continue to play a vital role in the success of clubs in the Telstrapremiership.
“
There are any number of gambling options in the community but none which contribute to thecommunity in the way that the clubs movement does.
“
Our concern is that these measures will not prevent problem gambling but that it will severelydamage rugby league and other community sports
.”
