Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2449429, member: 1992"] Can't really disagree with that summation. I probably was not as clear about Murdochs intention, more the intention was from those you mentioned. SL was a brilliant concept in my opinion and I had absolutely no love for the NSWRL so it was easy for me to 'get on board' the SL vision. I had not seen anything at all, ever, from the NSWRL that looked after the player interests rather everything was slanted towards what they perceived to be in their interests. The only point I would question Coxy is whether or not Murdoch and co were adversarial towards Packer. Later in proceedings most definitely but initially I believe they were open, transparent and honest. Having a non-combative relationship with Kerry Packer would be almost impossible. From where I stood, little man in the street, I thought kerry Packer believed he owned Rugby League. Controlled league, his baby, his property to do with as he pleased. I thought he was a bombastic prick and I deeply resented anyone believing Rugby League was 'theirs'. I always thought Packer,Quail and Authurson were the villains in the whole affair. Quail and Authurson were the best money could buy. I have no proof but I thought they were on the receiving end of some underhand slings.... [/QUOTE]
