Gould - "AFL is a monster"

Wishful thinking to think the AFL is not a threat to rugby league says Gould.
Earlier this month Gould wrote of the AFL threat: 'The evidence overwhelmingly suggests the NRL has failed to properly protect and develop rugby league in western Sydney over the past 10 years, leaving it vulnerable to the AFL machine.'
'Make no mistake; the NRL is directly responsible for the ease with which AFL has infiltrated the sporting fields of western Sydney.'
'If you don't believe me, take a drive around the western areas to see for yourself.'
'Any rubbish you hear about the AFL not being a threat to rugby league in western Sydney or that the AFL is struggling to make inroads into this one-time rugby league stronghold is wishful thinking, naivety, or deliberate misinformation.'
'Quite simply, the AFL is a monster.'

gee ... a 12 month old article
but Phil has seen how tiny the impact on the sporting landscape GWS has " actually" been
& hasn't said anything like this since .. because he'd look stupid
nothing wrong with being on the front foot
the NRL is about to put the AFL & GWS through the covers & to the boundary
Shot ... =D> =D> =D> =D>

News Limited never figured the NRL would actually kick them off the board until it was actually announced. It was being planned for years and News was the main reason why it took so long! I don't think they realised it was finally over until after the 2011 NRL season!
