As a true blue Rugby League fan, someone who has played the game and supports the Tooheys comp I just hope that the propoganda regarding the financial impact of the new pokie tax is true. For there is one benefit that will result. Hopefully it will stop the likes of Collies, Dapto and Wests- just to name a few, from throwing money around like if it was confetti. Back in my day, and it wasn't long ago, blokes would play for the their local club and were proud to do so. The money wasn't much, if any at all, usually just enough to have a few beers after the game, and of course the opportunity to wear your clubs jersey. Nowadays, some players are getting astronomical amounts to play in our local comp, with the result being bleeding obvious, We have a lopsided comp with great community clubs like the 'burgh and the cougars knocking on deaths door. The real blame for this disgraceful state of affairs rests squarely with the Illawarra board of management who over the years have allowed clubs to hyper-inflate player payments.
