The point I am trying to make is that SOME of the blokes who made themselves available for that game are just a few of the bloke who are giving up their time to travel out bush to help raise the spirits of a small community that has been was devastated by drought for a dozen or so years...with so many suicides by the depression the drought caused. I don't suppose - or expect - you people living in the city would understand that. The players are not heroic, money hungry or egotists. They are normal AUSTRALIANS, prepared to give up their time to promote Rugby League and help worthy causes. As they did for MG and the flood, and as they are going to do for us and our small battling Club.
AND PG, is it not going to be a sh*t game for us out here who love our Rugby League. We can't just walk down the road, jump on a bus, train or into the car to go and see Legends of the Game in action.
We actually have to work hard to promote the code..bloody hard as a matter of fact..to attract sponsors, to get the message 'out there'..If you see it as 'flogging a dead horse' so be it. I may be annoying to you, but I would like to think that not too many people on here would not know about it.
I am proud of my friends in Rugby League, and I am proud of their response to the 'call to duty'. They are so looking forward to it..as I am.
look at

AND Mickydo...biteyourarse..the day I start taking notice of you or your opinions is the day I stop promoting Rugby League and my community. You are a small minded person..with a small vision for humanity. Feel sorry for you as a matter of fact
