I know nothing about the person in question. But sadly it seems quite a few chancers have appeared on the RL scene in recent years. People who it seems do not have the required experience to be undertaking such ventures and it seems do not have both feet on the ground. So many ideas often sound great in theory, but are a very different story in practice. I have no problem with ambition, I admire it, but it needs to be backed up by substance and realistic planning. I am always wary of new ventures that appear "abruptly" on the scene and start making more noise than action. Even with the backing of a sugar daddy (which is rarely the case), it is an incredibly tough task, setting something up from scratch. In any case, I am all for exposing these types of people and keeping the next ones that come along as far from possible away from our sport as they do more harm than good and often leave a trail of destruction behind, after the disappear like a thief in the night.

Luc Lacoste has said he wants a 12 team Elite 1 so pushing a brash and confident sounding Montpellier Sharks up the pyramid must have been tempting. The true test of good leadership will be to see what lessons are being learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dying sport. If you have better things to do go ans do it I hope to go 30 rugby league live games in 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
