Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"How many [delthousands[/del [delhundreds[/del dozens of players do they have in Hong Kong at the moment?
It would be nice if Hong Kong had just 6 clubs with 20 players in each club, playing the game every weekend. Then maybe they could think of growing to 8 or 10 clubs before embarking on a gimmicky concept of Origin with =#FF0000[size=200no extensive grass roots development to back it up[/size.'"
Why do you insist on using Sl as the standard of medicrity in the game ? See what I highlighted
i visited Hong Kong earlier this year and if they want to do something they will, unlike the insular game game here. The challange is to convince them that it's good and what they want. The Aussies realise this. The game in this country dosn't really want to expand beyond Castleford (as an example) as a major team!!! Ridiculous, but won't change in my lifetime and I've given up fighting for the game to progress in this country.
The whole thing is wrong, the set up is wrong, it may have worked years ago but things move on but the game in this country just hasn't progressed the way it should have. It has the product, it hasn't a clue how to market or sell itself. and no I'm not going to explain how. I have tried but the wall of apathy and ignorance even beat my astounding talent;-)
