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

In terms of public interest though ADP did definitely make a lot of people (Eurosnobs mostly) suddenly pay attention to the A League. Even his first game here against us we got a really big croud, way bigger than we probably would have otherwise.
