Enjoy a bit of schadenfreude and all, but don't ever fall into the trap of thinking Jones is a friend. His solution wouldn't just see rugby in WA without a professional team, he would be sure to get rid of the NRC too. What he ultimately wants is two SR teams, supported by the SS, nothing more.
He is not alone either; the supposed letters he quotes reek of it. He opened with "...a recent Sydney club game between Easts and Parramatta...The crowd was incredibly disappointing....Give a free family ticket and post it to every school kid in Orange...It would barely be a $500 exercise...It would only need Castle and co. to donate 1 per cent of their wage to pay the bill."
Talk about entitlement. It is the Shute Shield, but rather than the NSWRU it is the responsibility of RA to be taking a day to day interest in the marketing strategy for every match? And because they don't, everyone will sit on their hands for the sake of $500 and instead just moan about things. F***'n princesses, every one of them owed a living. Worse, they then take those attitudes into commentating the sport and agitating for the same useless bastards to be running the sport. It is hard to comprehend, but they would actually be worse than the utter shower there now. And don't kid yourself, the reason they are suddenly agitating for the end of SR is they actually would get hold of the reins.
