They keep calling themselves the sporting capital of Australia.
Is a good thing if Rugby League is showing growth down there.

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
Well Melbourne draw the biggest crowds in Australia for tennis, golf, AFL, soccer, cricket, & car racing. Wonder why RL is struggling despite the storm's huge success on field?NRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote: βSat Mar 11, 2017 12:11 pmThey keep calling themselves the sporting capital of Australia.

Rugby League is probably in the best state it has ever been in Victoria. Storm are averaging some of the best crowds they have ever had.NlolRL wrote: βSat Mar 11, 2017 12:15 pmWell Melbourne draw the biggest crowds in Australia for tennis, golf, AFL, soccer, cricket, & car racing.

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
The storm's average is 10k less than the lowest AFL team in Melbourne. Meanwhile the Swans are higher than every Sydney RL teamNRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote: βSat Mar 11, 2017 2:56 pmRugby League is probably in the best state it has ever been in Victoria.

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
THE NRL should of done what the AFL and Swans did.
set up Academy's In Melbourne & concentrate more on Grassroots..
This goes along way..
by all means Melbourne Storm are more popular than Ever.

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
Pretty sure they do have development squads, i think the problem is more on awareness and lack of clubs. The NRL should really invest if they want to grow in Vic. Start more junior clubs so kids arent travelling long distances. Over time it will grow.leeroy*NRL* wrote: βTue Mar 14, 2017 12:16 pmTHE NRL should of done what the AFL and Swans did.

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
There's an NRL club right near where I work (Melbourne) and the players in teams I see playing are almost exclusively of Islander background. There's an enormous amount of work to be done to make RL an attractive sports option in Melbourne. Kids who dont play AFL because they may think it's too rough are not going to play RL, they're going straight to soccerSwans4ever wrote: βThu Mar 16, 2017 10:10 amPretty sure they do have development squads, i think the problem is more on awareness and lack of clubs.

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
be interesting to see how many rugby league clubs at junior and senior level are in Victoria
and vice versa in NSW for AFL clubs..
I would think AFL is at least 2 to 1 in favor

Re: Storm Membership Up Up Up
I think it is way more than 2 to 1. There is more leagues of afl in nsw I would reckon than clubs in Victoria. I think there are about 12 rl clubs in victoria and one league that oversees it. Whereas in nsw Sydney and west Sydney have different leagues I believe with several levels in each league. Again this is from memory but I am sure an internet search will help you out.
