Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

What do you mean by that?

That they aren't treated like commodities? So your position on the Leigh board, why did you lose it exactly? Lack of business acumen?

I didn't ' lose it ' as you put it , I resigned it , I still have a shareholding and have been asked to take my position back on the board several times

As for lack of ' business acumen ' , what does that mean exactly in this context , Do you mean was I willing to lose my home and family for the sake of Leigh Centurions ?

If that is the case then the answer is no , I wasn't

Tell me Glenn , what exactly has been your input into RL ? Both amatuer and proffessional

I choose not to disclose personal details about my involvement and ownership within the sport to an anonymous message board. That would be naive, unprofessional and open myself up to accusations of impropriaty.

I do question what you meant by it just being a sport though. Surely business and sport are intertwined these days.

It is. But professional sport is also a business. Like football, RU, etc...

If that's what you would prefer to think no worries. A might sad and twisted but none the less your perogative.
