Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2447265, member: 1827"] Having watched Howzat: Kerry Packer's War on Sunday night, and the story of the beginnings of World Series Cricket, it got me thinking about the Super League war a little bit, and I was seeking a bit of history education from BHQ's Rugby League fraternity, as I was a bit young to understand the ins and outs of it at the time. From what I understand, there were a lot of similarities between World Series Cricket and Super League. Increase in player salaries, greater form of entertainment, fight for the broadcast rights etc. Correct me if I'm wrong there by the way. My question is why didn't Kerry Packer try and seize the opportunity with Super League like he did with WSC? Was it purely because he was on the Optus-vision side of things and he was protecting his own personal interests? Super League, as controversial as it was, could've done a lot of good for Rugby League. [/QUOTE]
