All about 'sport' becoming a job rather that a hobby or pastime.
All of my 'heros' were amateurs. Derek Ibbotson trained on a local park because the road lighting was there, Gordon Pirie got a salesman's job so that he could adjust his training times et etc.
And the RL players were the same. Wigan players still wearing the coal dust and showering before the game etc etc., Widnes lads like Winstanley and Prescot working for the Council etc.
Times do change, often not for the better!!!
