Re: I blame Maurice Lindsay. : Fri Jul 29, 2011 2:48 am
I interviewed Maurice Lyndsey about 12 years ago and it was clear where his loyalties lay and it was not with the RL community as a whole. I remember the responses he gave to open questions revealed his vision of the future was very Wigan/large club centric. He had little time/understanding/respect for the roots of the game and was shockingly short sighted when it came to the future direction.I would say he is not wholeheartedly to blame for the state of the game today, but he was a major instigator of the problems we now find ourselves in. As for being a saviour, dont believe the hype as most of it came from him. Sky were coming into the game irrespective, he just happened to be the one who undersold it.
