The product of League is being ruined by David Gallop and he has to go

[Michelle Leslie]

Gould protects Gallop by being sanctioned by CH 9.
Gus is not allowed to speak his mind and therefore Gus is as bad as the rest of them by not standing his ground.

 

[Cheezel]

If that is a serious post, you need help.

And lots of it.

Why don't you start by telling me which part of the post you think is not serious?

Take ya time....I can handle the truth and need the help :lol:

Geez, he gave Gallop a massive spray last year. I'd hate Gus to protect me if thats the case.

Are you sure its not there? Clubs run on something like $13m to $20m but only $3.5m or so goes to the players.If the salary cap was rised wouldnt they just cut back spending elsewhere? Maybe they wouldnt have the money to wax players legs or have wrestling coaches. Maybe the CEO could get by without a P.A?

well said, the money spent beyond players salary in the NRL is a joke. Was watching RL summertime the opther night with the refs and they had about 8 coaches/trainers/advisors just for the refs! No wonder the NRL costs $120mill a year to run!

 

[stormtragic]

Gallop is right about Benji..its either league or union ffs

tv rights and expansion is where Gallop is the worst administrator

 

[overandout]

I think they do restrict the individuals earning potential somewhat.

I like what Gould does.
I like Voss.

7- Heres an idea for country - not sure if its workable but how about and all stars country side in the comp and that team can play at several grounds in the country areas??? its a good idea but a hard one to impliment its possible of even Canberra becoming that club super big games at canberra stadium and the other games in other areas that can accommodate a croud televise all their games as well through a public channel.

Im no expert but a few suggestions for the sleeepy heads.

Crack is your enemy.

Gould seems to have a fair say through the print media however.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

All the points you've raised should be directed at News Limited, not Gallop. He's just a pawn and nothing will change unless we remove News Ltd from our game. Tis very simple.

But dont the ARL board members complain or have they been gagged?

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

No vision, no balls, no clue

Apart from that, CEO of the year!

ANd under Demetriou's thumb!

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Idiot comparison.

We get less than the AFL.

I would say the NRL is getting about the proper value, and that the AFL is getting overs.

The NRL annihilates every other sport in terms of television rights



A blemish to his name yes.



That's not David Gallop sitting in a caesers box and giving and thumbs up or thumbs down to changes in the game.

Things like this actually are more to do with 16 NRL coaches having a get together and fiddling the rules.



You must have a short memory. The judiciary has NEVER had a great deal of credibility, I can remember the playing days of Les Boyd and Dallas Donnely and nothing has changed.



It's a common feature of PR.. it's called damage control.

He doesn't bad mouth anything before it happens, and he has to make the appearance of being concerned afterwards to joe public.

He is paying "NRL executive lip service" until it dies over, and he'll be 'reactive' again in the future.



Records crowds.
The most 2nd successful expansion team after the broncos ever on the gold coast.
Record TV ratings.

That's where it's going.



He has generated more income than any other leader in the past.

He has also led to income rises greater than the rate of inflation under his watch.



Yes, losing support of generations of fans, losing RL infrastructure in Perth, merging teams. Splitting of hairs really.... should be forgotten in 72 hours.



He has had a fantastic time from where the game was to where it is now. His skills were exactly what were needed to bringing the game to where it is now.

That said, I am starting to think we need fresh blood.

The types of Waldron and PHaC have add new energy to the game, but this also harks back to Gallop.

Guys like an ex-AFL administrator or private ownership from PHaC would never have got off the ground under the likes of Arko. The fact they're in our game is because of the leadership of Gallop.



If you decide to go Dave, thank you for everything you've done. RL is a stronger game than from when you found it.

And we still have no club in WA!

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Michelle -your not a bad sort -ya wanna root?

What type of tree do you have for her?

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

I dont see anyone in rugby league offering any solutions for the problems.

Hell people come on here to complain.

And i hate complaining without any intent to do something about the problem.

To people as such I say "Shut the F... up, you're a pussy, otherwise you would be changing it. Don't whinge at me."

RL has a problem. Inaction.

If you think Gallop is to blame. Lets hunt him down and burn him at the stake, he's obviously a witch, right!?

Come on man....you are the one with no idea....

You are just a sheep, like the rest.

Out of a population you are number 2-1million....

Gallop is number 1.....1 in a million, he's a leader, a do-er...you are not.

If there is a better leader, go find him.

But stop coming on here and having a sook because Gallop is still around.

You and the fool who started the thread.

Life's complex....get from it what you can, and don't fuzz about crap you can't change. Work on what you can.

The relevance of my other post was about Man utd

Hell, mate!

They are getting on with life atm, winning competitions. And they get more people to ONE GAME than the ENTIRE ESL ROUND!

OH MY...

Now i expect the likes of you to break down in tears...

Get lost sook, go cry to mommy.

I am rooting hot blondes, and living in big houses, and you are on here having sooks at me for crap you have no idea about.

Thats because 'I KNOW WHAT MAKES THE WORLD TICK, KIDO.'

Can you get your text any bigger lad?

Spot on. Gallop is just a one dimensional politically correct puppet.

Sure, I'm game.

Some interesting posts :lol:

The odd one.

I don't agree with everything Gallop has done but the game is pretty healthy and the NRL/ARL don't have the money issues currently facing the ARU & Football.

If it was pretty healthy it would have the money. It is existing. If we had a TV contract at our real value, other than a TV contract that the only bidder allowed to bid was prepared to pay, we may have "the money".

The ARU's problems are due to a massive overestimation of the interest in their code in Australia. ARC...

And Football, well, you already said you think it's pretty healthy, try not to repeat yourself.

You can bring up the Super League rubbish for the rest of your life but it won't change a thing.

You're underestimating the effect on Rugby League in this country, the ongoing effect.

Rugby league's problem is it's supporters spend more time taking pot shots at the game then supporting it.

They pay to see it, they have a right to criticise it. Most of the current criticism is warranted and pointed toward the complete and utter lack of leadership at the top of the NRL.

I'd swap Gallop for Demetriou in a heartbeat.

You never hear the AFL, ARU Football supporters bagging their games like we bag rugby league.

I can see you rarely, if ever, read Union or AFL forums...

 

[Cheezel]

If it was pretty healthy it would have the money. It is existing. If we had a TV contract at our real value, other than a TV contract that the only bidder allowed to bid was prepared to pay, we may have "the money"....

lol....you should really stop listening to talking sport and start forming your own opinion. Do some research and compare the state of the game today to what it was in 1998. Agree that we should have more $$$ from the TV deal but it doesn't help when we have near zero exposure outside NSW and QLD. So you can't use the NRL/AFL argument in regards to the TV deal. AFL have a national game and were lucky to get more then the product was worth while packer lay on his death bed.

The ARU's problems are due to a massive overestimation of the interest in their code in Australia. ARC...

Agree, good to see the NRL and ARL have not made the same mistake. Or is that another X on Gallop's scorecard?

And Football, well, you already said you think it's pretty healthy, try not to repeat yourself....

Ok you got me....how about I refer to it as diveball to save confusion.

You're underestimating the effect on Rugby League in this country, the ongoing effect.....

Not at all, Super League put the game back 10 years. But that's in the past now. Bringing it up and blaming it for all league's problems is the easy way out! It's just as bad as blaming Gallop for all League's problems. Look a little deeper and you will find it's a bit more complex then that.

They pay to see it, they have a right to criticise it. Most of the current criticism is warranted and pointed toward the complete and utter lack of leadership at the top of the NRL.
.....

lol.....do you hang off every word Mr Hughes says? How about you tell me the top 5 issues in the game and how it's all Gallop's fault. I am willing to change my opinion if you give some hard solid evidence that Gallop "ruined" the game as this thread implies.

I'd swap Gallop for Demetriou in a heartbeat.
.....

lol.......This is the odd one :lol: So you would let someone who has AFL running through their veins take control of Rugby League. :crazy: He might be good for AFL but it doesn't mean he would be good for Rugby League. Rugby League.

I can see you rarely, if ever, read Union or AFL forums...

AFL no, Yawnion from time to time. And most Yawnion followers I know will defend their game till the bitter end. I have to say so will most League supporters I know but you jump on this forum or listen to Talking Sport and you would think that League's on it's last legs where the facts and figures would indicate otherwise. Why do some league supporters always focus on the negitive and get whipped up in a frenzy when the Daily Terror comes out with a predictable headline every week.

Surely being the devil himself :lol: you would be able to read between the lies!

Actually, I think I know enough about the game that I don't need some forum nuffy to "bring me up to date". And I certainly have "an opinion".

And please, stop proving your lack of knowledge by saying "the AFL have a national game".

I'll get you started with a question on that subject shall I?

How many people in regional Australia have an AFL team?

Agree, good to see the NRL and ARL have not made the same mistake. Or is that another X on Gallop's scorecard?

So, Gallop made a good move by not copying the ARU's ARC move?

LOL

There wasn't a Rugby League person in TFC who didn't laugh their arse off when the ARC was announced. It doesn't take a News Ltd lawyer to realise that the ARC idea was about as interesting to the Australian public as group herpes.

Ok you got me....how about I refer to it as diveball to save confusion.

Soccer will do fine.

Not at all, Super League put the game back 10 years. But that's in the past now. Bringing it up and blaming it for all league's problems is the easy way out! It's just as bad as blaming Gallop for all League's problems. Look a little deeper and you will find it's a bit more complex then that.

Have you forgotten that Gallop was one of the architects of Super League?

Or didn't you know?

Gallop isn't to blame for all Rugby League's problems, but he is at the top of it. Still, we should be ok because he does show the guts and determination we all expect in our players in the face of adversity....

hahahahaha

Made myself laugh again.

The man has no balls.

Benji says "I want to play Union in the off-season in Japan" and Gallop says "If you do we'll protect the competition by making the Tigers pay for it"... instead of "Sure, go, but you won't be allowed back".

lol.....do you hang off every word Mr Hughes says? How about you tell me the top 5 issues in the game and how it's all Gallop's fault. I am willing to change my opinion if you give some hard solid evidence that Gallop "ruined" the game as this thread implies.

Firstly, I listen to Graeme Hughes about as often as locky#1 has sex. If he cans himself and that know-nothing gormless prat Robertson, I'll give it another go.

Secondly,

Work out the top issues for yourself. I don't give a f**k if you change your opinion or not. Go follow AFL, I couldn't care less.

lol.......This is the odd one :lol: So you would let someone who has AFL running through their veins take control of Rugby League. :crazy:

I'll say it again, in a heartbeat.

The bloke has passion and is prepared to do whatever it takes. Whatever I think personally about the bloke doesn't mean I wouldn't have him in front of the chinless, weak-as-piss ex-Super League lawyer we have now...

For the record, I'd have John O'Neill in front of Gallop in a heartbeat too.

He might be good for AFL but it doesn't mean he would be good for Rugby League. Rugby League.

That's not the point and it surprises me that you missed it.

It's Gallop's lack of passion that is the problem. He doesn't love Rugby League.

AFL no, Yawnion from time to time. And most Yawnion followers I know will defend their game till the bitter end. I have to say so will most League supporters I know but you jump on this forum or listen to Talking Sport and you would think that League's on it's last legs where the facts and figures would indicate otherwise. Why do some league supporters always focus on the negitive and get whipped up in a frenzy when the Daily Terror comes out with a predictable headline every week.

So, your answer is no, you don't read the other forums.

And seriously, you're asking why people get the sh*ts with the Telegraph?

LOL

Surely being the devil himself :lol: you would be able to read between the lies!

Move along Robbo.

 

[taipan]

I like what Gould does.
I like Voss.

Yeah if Gould had his way there would be no salary cap,and half the Sydney clubs would pull out of the NRL, due to inability to financially compete.
An absolutely brilliant idea ,in these financially basketcase times.:shock:
Even his old club Easts are feeling the financial pinch.I think Gould would have difficulty running a financially successful tuckshop.
I will say one thing for gould he is passionate,but at times his passion is far removed from reality,and he still has the SL hate in his system.
