I can not begin to describe how cringeworthy it sounds when the almighty arseberger talk about the networks that purchase the NRL product as partners of the game. Every time i hear this term my bum hole tries retreat within me.
They are not partners of the game. There agenda is certainly at odds with the growth of the game. They purchase footy for commercial reasons and bastardise the game for there finacial gain. I have no problem with that, but to insinuate they are partners in this , is very worrying for me, and makes me wonder if there is something untoward within these relationships
The networks promote the product they purchase, but are not interested in any growth unless we talk in terms of dollars for themselves. They will not be counted on to contribute if anything should rock the league as a partner would and will walk away at any time if the sums dont add up. In fact other arms of a network seem hell bent to destroy the game for there own financial gain as evident by the endless scandle reporting and mud raking that most fans are not concerned with. With partners like these who needs enemies.It seems like all parts of the game are opened up for attack and ridicule except for the few people in charge of overseeing the game and the scandles. Is this possibly the partnership that knobberger speaks so proudly of
The language used tries to elude that both parties have a unified goal to promote, foster and develop rugby league is misleading and to be honest sounds very untrustworthy. From a distance the language, the relationships and outcomes reek or personal partnership rather that a long term benefit to all things rugby league.
Rugby League needs strong leaders who put rugby league first and the networks second. They need to know where they stand and im sure they do, and this is why certain partnerships exist.
There was a certain taint in the air when gallop was top dog, that made most fans worry about all things not on the footy field. Dave smith had his shortcomings but the taint and innuenedo disappeared and the ceo was under constant attack. For a while it seemed the partnership rules had been rewritten. With dickberger in charge the foul mist has again engulged rugby league and again our partners have the time to criticise all things rugby league except for those that currently oversee it.
The games cap is growing, and there has never been more cash in the game but lets not forget that this deal was forged in steel by smith and not the current management. And lets not forget how gyngell carried on when he paid through his retreating bum hole for the rights, he didnt sound like a partner then, and the subsequent media smashing of smith was not the behaviour of what a partnership sounds like to me.
