Message: [QUOTE="BroncoMatt, post: 2102931, member: 1752"] It's an interesting point. Although not directly related, there was a story doing the rounds a few years ago (and I'll be honest, If I hadnt heard about the bet before it happened I wouldnt of believed it) that a high profile member of the media had a sizeable bet with a high profile businessman about the power the media had in the NRL. The bet was that the media man could take a fringe first grader to an Australian Rep in 2 years, soley on the back of pushing his barrow in the media. Eg.Writing Constant paper articles about how good the said player was going (regardless of how well he actually was going), and also doing similar with any TV spots he had, and using his influence with other TV commentators to do the same thing. Within 2 years, the player was playing for Australia. [/QUOTE]
