Border Jumpers…

Hello all..

Not sure whether I take it as a compliment, an insult or a threat that some of the best talent in rugby league is being poached by the cashed up AFL.

Fosters was cashed up once and they decided to buy Southcorp – and they have actually now managed to lose money selling beer to Australians. Possibly a first…

Part of me hopes that the AFL circus act follows the same path – I feel for those doing great things in the VFL.  The next Podsiadly or Barlow could provide Western Sydney with their very own hero but they are being passed over as the AFL pillages other sports.

Why look for talent in your own backyard when your millions will buy you greener pastures down the road…
