Vale Paul Green.
An unbelievably sad weekend (and weeks ahead) for the NRL, as it supports a grieving family and the personal grief of so many.
Sunday’s game between Easts and North Queensland will be especially poignant, with Cronulla, Brisbane, and Parramatta’s games also reflecting his personal relationship with those clubs also.
I’m sure the loss of the NRL will ripple into the AFL as well. There are many intersecting relationships among players and media, something like this will impact on many.
