Not as many Koori players in comparison to years past when RL had 11% - that's now dropped to under 5% while Polynesian players have grown from very low levels to over 45%. This is RL's big challenge as more coaches and talent scouts keep trying to get the next big kid will the sport only become the domain of islander players and eventually not representative of the wider community - no doubt the usual racist accusations will flow pretty thick and fast but the fact remains if the sport loses appeal to younger generation because coaches and talent scouts are interested in only 1 body shape will crowds continue to drop and eventually ratings. AFL is well suited to a variety of shapes which means no one shape is the norm.

The AFL currently have 74 indigenous players which I think may be more than the NRL. Can you explain how that has occured with such a policy? Clearly its BS

Stfu idiot, the first aboriginal to get permission to leave the country and live in England played RL and got a contract over there in the 1920's you dopey fuck, that's decades before anyone else was allowed too.

The first captain coach of a national football team was in Rugby League, at least 30 years before any other sport even got close

you can talk as much shit as you like, but rugby league has clearly lead the way.

Just as anzac games were played in rugby league waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 1920's, your lot of afl ********* lie and tell the nation they invented it in the 19 fucking 60's.

Go fuck yourself and your racist sport.

Just a couple mr liar from redfern and Hockshiscocktoooften.
1908

George Green plays 16 games for the Easts (until 1911) and 92 games for the Norths (1912-16, 1918-22).
It was never clear whether his heritage was Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, or South Sea Islander, but he is recognised as the first Indigenous player in rugby league. He was a hooker.
1920s

Aboriginal players such as Paul Tranquille and Paddy Crough play first grade rugby league.
1925

Glen Crouch is the first Aboriginal footballer to tour overseas, playing 11 games for Queensland in a New Zealand tour.
1930

The Tweed Heads All Blacks and the Redfern All Blacks are both in operation as early as 1930.
1937

Arthur ‘Stoker’ Currie is the first Aboriginal player to make the Country side which beats City. He plays bare-footed for Tweed Heads All Blacks. His grandson, Tony, plays for Australia.
1941

Dick and Lyn Johnson play in the position of fullback against each other in the City–Country game.
1945

Bill Onus, organising in Redfern, co-founds the Redfern All Blacks Rugby League team which would become a community and political organisation throughout the 50s and 60s.
1960

Despite their enormous talents, an Aboriginal player wasn’t selected in the Australian team until 1960. His name is Lionel Morgan.
Morgan plays two tests against the French and later that year in the World Cup squad. He also plays with Aboriginal player (and eventual Test cap) George Ambrum at Wynnum Manly.
1965

Eric Simms plays eight World Cup games and 206 games for Souths and in 1965 scores 265 points in a season, breaking a long-standing record.
1967

A war cry used by all Kangaroo teams up to and in 1967 is almost certainly based on an Aboriginal chant emanating from Stradbroke Island,
just south from Brisbane.
1970s

The Moree Boomerangs re-emerge after 30 years of abstinence from the rugby league. They can trace their playing days back to the 1940s.
The team has included the likes of Phil Duke, Paul Roberts, Ewan McGrady, Dennis Kinchela and Mark Wright.
1973

The first Aboriginal side tours New Zealand.
Arthur Beetson is the first Aboriginal player to captain Australia.
Brothers Vern and Frank Daisy are institutions in Mt Isa (Queensland) football for many years.
1977

Larry Corowa scores five tries for Monaro against a visiting Great Britain side. He plays for Balmain, NSW and Australia and is regarded as a brilliant winger. Corowa is later presented with an MBE.

I thought the first Aboriginals to leave the country in an official capacity in sport was the Aboriginal cricket tour of England in 1868????

Permaban eh?

LOL

Australian Rules football has dealt with a number of racial scandals in the past. Last year a recruiter resigned after reportedly claiming he would not draft an Aboriginal unless the player had a white parent.
It's ingrained in the culture of your ******** sport no matter how much you stamp your feet and cry.
