The Future is League 2,349 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Top man Matt. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/matt-bowen-to-promote-rugby-league-in-serbia-20150424-1msvr4.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just Browny 6,898 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Yep, and it sounds like good stuff from the Australian Embassy too. Cant do any harm to have an ambassador or two onside when trying to get the word out. Quote I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Griff9of13 6,619 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Bowen sounds like a decent bloke. Here is an article from earlier in the week of Shaun Wane praising Matty Bowen for his work with Ryan Hampshire while being dropped.http://www.totalrl.com/wane-praises-bowen-attitude/ Edited April 25, 2015 by Griff9of13 Quote "it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."

Allora 1,462 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) He is doing pretty well. He is a quiet, shy sort of player and its a credit to him that he is having a go at promoting the game in a Country he probably knows little about. Edited April 25, 2015 by Allora Quote Talent is secondary to whether players are confident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UniSamX 142 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) https://youtu.be/4dWl4j7E9Hk I'm guessing he's not chasing a media career. He's the shyest bloke in Rugby League! Also. it must be pretty weird speaking through an interpreter. On telly. In Serbia. Edited April 25, 2015 by UniSamX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know; I don't think I've ever thought of him as chatty and outgoing. The benefit of him going there and helping and being invited on TV is brilliant for the game over there, though. The TV audience would be listening to the translator anyway. Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Yep, and even more credit to him for doing something obviously well out of his comfort zone for the sake of growing the game. Absolute champion.

Futtocks 13,089 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 He has scored some beauties. It's a brilliant story. There'll be some viewers who, intrigued, will have Googled his name and probably come across a showreel or two. Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.
