@rotated to the best of my knowledge the NRL has never made claims that **they help develop better people... **they file that under their wishful thinking outcomes.

I’m probly mistaken, but I thought it was “Better people make better ABs,” and not the other way around.

That sounds about right to me. I can’t recall the cartel or AB management at the time making reference to the ABs being the reformist colony where players came out of as newfound 100% law abiding citizens.

They definitely talked about character and didn’t shy away from referring to a player as a “good person” if it was warranted.

On Hayman, any of these stories of indiscretion and violence are very sad and impact so many more people than those directly involved.

<p>Great atmosphere for this game with over 99 thousands packing in the stands. But the standard of play is very low which is quite amazing when you look at the names of the players who are on the pitch. Top 14 is just scrums and penalties.</p>
