There was considerable movement before his involvement actually.

Going back to the 1920s.

I will never understand the love for Ken Arthurson...

Sure, he oversaw a boom in the game, but was his final legacy was the Super League War.

Not only that, once the war was over he then left a power vacume that the Sydney clubs filled. This was honestly the WORST result from SL and basically the opposite of what everyone had wanted before 1995.

Danny Kazandjian at the RLEF has been a pretty good one. Now moving onto the RLIF, which is good news.

 

[Disinterested third party]

He's a legend.

Others Fallowfield (controversial), Oxley and Lindsay. For the list. Former was a bit of a wanker but was around for years.

Lindsay is Marmite.

Hard to knock what he did with Wigan. 8 Challenge Cup wins in a row is positively St George-ian 1956-66.

All done with money. A full time team playng part time opponents. They spent that much money that once Salford beat them to end their Challenge Cup run they had to sell Central Park. Once the rest of the league became full time, when SL began, things changed and their dominance ended.

Wasn’t st George’s dominance’s financed by a league’s club that nobody else could match?

 

[miguel de cervantes]

A good administrator would win 8 Challenge Cups on a shoestring. ie Danny Kazandjian at the RLEF.

Gee you blokes are tough markers...

Winning 8 major titles in succession doesn't count?

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Feats such as that aren't necessarily good for the game. More interested in people that made the game go forwards, not sideways or backwards.

English RL was flying late 1980s/early 1990s when it occurred. Hardly going sideways or backwards.

We still couldn’t beat Australia and struggled to beat the Kiwis. The game in England was skint in the late 80s/early 90s because too many clubs were trying to keep up with Wigan. Why do you think they snapped Rupert’s hand off when he offered them big money?

Bee's dick between Aus and GB in 1990 and 1992. Not sure how other clubs failing to compete with Wigan was Lindsay's fault as an administrator?

How do you think, with the exception of Leicester, soccer clubs win the EPL? Money, money and a bit more money. It's not clever administration. Give me enough money and I could have won twenty Challenge Cups on the trot.

You clearly aren't a big Lindsay fan.

I've already said - it is all about money.

No I'm not a Lindsay fan. Are you Jessie J?
