A fantastically accurate article from Les Murray...

I dunno if I agree about the marquees. I suppose they do create a lot of interest if they're genuine stars, but I think only a few of those listed actually added quality to the league.

I dont agree about the Marquees at all.  Roly and Aaron Moy are currently playing better than the majority of so called "Marquee" players of the past. And certainly our Paul Ifill was and still is a legend for our club,  I would rather have him than a washed up ADP

Completely agree and I think in general the A League clubs have wised up that you don't need mega super stars to win the League and they are a drain on finances. They might raise attendance/increase tv viewers briefly but long term is got to be more sustainable to grow your own talent.
