'Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well I have I have others' Groucho Marx.

I have no problem with those who have principals and beliefs other than they are a nuisance in that they believe that they are right the rest are wrong and want everyone else to join them and will preach or campaign to do so which I believe has a tendency to lead to argument and beyond. In this world even the principled have to have some give and take.

Slightly to one side of the theme how does the Toronto gig sit with Greta Tundbergh and her eco colleagues and those lovely Extinction Rebellion people (if one of that lot were to glue themselves to SBW in protest when they visit BV in May, assuming he's fit by then, that would be ok).

Re: Sonny Bill Williams : Sun Jan 26, 2020 7:11 pm  
What gets me about this whole situation is that the club and player have made a big song and dance about it in the media as Toronto always have to do, painting the Betfred sponsorship/SL in a bad light. I am sure the player/club could have approached Super League in private and there would have been no issues, I doubt anyone would even notice that it was covered on the shirt...

We are talking about it. I'm sure everyone involved including BetFred are happy with it all.

If I was short sighted I could become a referee!

I have principles. I want a world fit for my grandchildren to grow up in Flying teams across the Atlantic every week is a major contributor to fires happening now all over the world destroying trees that are the lungs of the earth. If they want to play rugby league in North America that's great and we could help them but not by admitting teams in to our league.

And travelling to Lancashire in diesel powered buses over the lovely green hills.
I'm quite keen on reducing my footprint but stopping Toronto playing isn't the best place to start.
