What a load of patronising garbage about Hille and the hard working Strathmore committee. They may have a good network, and may raise money, but not the amount that is required to fund the team that has been out there in the past two seasons. Without Hille's contribution, and some other not so voluntary contributions, Strathmore would be well short of funds.uptherecazaly said:i have no idea what sort of money was paid at strathmore this year. it must have been enormous. many have said well over $200K. but DONT Dr Jack... try telling us that hille is not the reason for strathmore being such a dominant team this year. take away his cash and stathmore are at least back on even pegging with the other sides in the top four. i acknowledge that strathmore has developed itself a big network of supporters and sponsors but lets not forget that the reason why they are there. Hille has bought some terrific players (harvey, winter, quinn, barnards, and now doering and maybe pyas and read) who have brought success to the Mores and THAT is the reason. when he leaves, so will the top notch players as understandably seek the most money they can and the EDFL unfortunately will drop in standard and become more even. It is great to see a bloke become so involved in a club, its just a shame all clubs dont have a hille. when he goes, this competition may just become a competition again.
As for Hille himself, short term glory, what is the legacy that will be left for his replacement?
