For all the smoke that get blown up this guy’s butt and how great a job he’s doing as pontificated by the media, what has he ACTUALLY done to make the game better? Serious question because here is what I can see:
- Seems to have sold the game short on the next media deal which no one knows any details about but reduced salary caps, etc being spoken about implies it is a reduced deal
- Re-introduced one ref and the inherent inconsistency that comes with that
- Introduced a six again rule on the eve of a competition re-start which has seemingly produced a fairly boring product and heaps of extra long-term injuries
- Offended half the fan haze by insulting Qlders
- Allowed the Roosters to sign a superstar that other teams could have paid more for and dismissed suggestions of favouritism
- Even more inconsistency at the judiciary
- A blanket crushed tackle ban with no room for common sense
- Delivering an inferior product
- TV ratings going down alarmingly despite a virus situation where people should be flocking to the game on tv in droves
- Ignoring the very real threat from the AFL in its strongest market - Qld
And yet the media continues to sing his praises at a nauseating level. What am I missing? He seems to be doing an awful job.
