"...all we got for joining was a Guernsey and a pat on the back. I've given the club ten years of my life and all I've got in the bank is eighty dollars."
When the games leave the field for the boardroom and sport becomes big business, the Club faces its biggest challenge yet - bigger than the Premiership - to play for love or money?
Languishing near the bottom of the ladder, it's been almost two decades since the last Premiership win and an atmosphere of blame, backstabbing and desperation has brewed into the resulting tension.
The club has taken a gamble on a young Tasmanian in a last-ditch bid to save its honour and its dignity; but is that exactly what it's in danger of losing?
Directed by Bruce Myles
