And not saying that that won't be the case at Tennis Australia, but I just feel like it wouldn't be as a 24-7 a role as Rugby League.
Rugby League is just constant drama, constant noise, constant headlines.
The thing about tennis, it's not like he has hundreds and hundreds of players to worry about, oh, who's doing this?
