Rumour: former PM seeking ARLC appointment

I’d be happy to have him on the board in place of someone like Wayne Pearce who is thick.
Pearce is no genius but at least he brings a player’s perspective. Also, he was involved in Project Apollo that got the game through Covid while state premiers took control of their own destinies as the prime minister dithered. Pearce is better at his job than Scotty ever will be.

Guess you missed his proposed rule changes from a few years ago

He wasn’t the first and won’t be the last to make ‘creative’ suggestions. Scotty was also a rugby man before parachuting himself in the seat of Cook, so he’d definitely be worse.

Nah having two ex pms on the board of the arlc would actually be a great look for the game and keep open doors for more government funding for projects

Pearce couldn’t even keep his wayward son in check

Not a divisive one of questionable character, though. Best of my knowledge, no one has ever questioned Pearce’s character.

just to remind people
Sure but compare that to, f**king up the vaccine roll out, boarder closure inaction, slowness to react to fires and floods, Sub deals, Ruby Princess, all mistakes imaginable relating to women and general incompetence. The list of Scummo f**k ups is longer than your arm. You really want him anywhere near our game?

Scomo's love of the Sharks and Rugby League is about as genuine as his stage managed handyman skills

Wayne Pearce is there because of his knowledge and feel for the game

which you can judge by the quality of that rule he came up with

he’s a token addition on the board he adds nothing and he’s been there since day one

Not to mention going to war with WA which rather sweetly cost him his job lol

Whatever.
I love to bash politicians as much as everyone but it is total RL stupidity to close the door on a guys like this in favour of dopes like Pearce.

these are just silly types of criticisms anyone could make of anyone who has been a leader of a country for 4 years.
The fact is he was PM of Australia, which to me means he is smart and hard working and is persuasive and talks pretty good about a lot of stuff.
He was the first PM in ages to not get sacked by his own party and to serve a full term. He handed a brutal arse whoppin to that weasel Bill Shorten.
