Touch Rugby is also controlled in France by RL now I think and in England the RFL have really stepped it up, good moves if you ask me, I can see touch being in the Olympics as it ticks every single box already.

But you havent really taken over the particpation numbers have you. The entire increase is due to the Touch affiliation. Not due to Rugby league - the ARLC doesnt count Touch football Australia **** its subsidaries by the way, so claiming its participants as their own is a little laughable.

Also lol @ Rugby league talking about experiences again.

Total club players for the NRL - 179,506 (and not even 10.5k outside NSW/QLD)
Total club players for the AFL - 336,108

Total clubs for the NRl - 1,077 in NSW, QLD, no specified number for the rest. Perhaps league should be concerned that they lost 50 clubs in 2015 in Qld alone, and another 40 odd in country NSW.
Total clubs for the AFL - 2,763
And Football has 1,700,000 according to Roy Morgan, but you really don't want to talk about that.

I would argue Rugby Union has successfully crossed the Barassi line more so than AFL, mind you Barassi himself couldn't cross it, being a complete failure at GWS.
Barassi a failure at GWS? I think you mean Sheedy mate.
yep my bad sorry, all bloody mexicans, we should get trump here and build a wall
Football in NSW
- Football 200,868
- AFL NSW/ACT 28,468
- Rugby League 96,041
- Rugby Union 40,685
Football has 22% more players than the other football codes combined

Pitty those numbers amount to nothing.
Amount to nothing? How so? It is 1.7 million people playing a sport, I can only assume enjoying it, what should it amount to?

most of those people that play soccer stop at the age of around 16 or 17

At least they didn't tell outright lies like the AFL did at Birchgrove oval or make claims that there 80m in there future fund.
It really is funny how much you believe the media when you want to isnt it. One news limited media report on an AFL fund and its gospel. When news limited reports on the NRl though its all full of shit. The hypocrisy is amazing.
There is a huge difference between sensationalising a story, like the News Ltd press are prone to do. And outright lies, which was the case with the Artsy Fartsy League and it lies at Birchgrove and the previous years Annul report. It not only claimed there was 80m in there future fund it also claimed that the money had never been touched . :^o

So when news sensationalise the AFL its ok. But when its an NRL story its not?

Your a fucking two faced bullshit artist of the highest order on this forum. Ill grant the particpation numbers supplied werent the right ones for Birchgrove, but almost nothing else about that saga is true as reported in the fucking fairfax press whose editor had a fucking stake in the soccer club that was going to be affected.

But where were you at when the media claimed the NRLs financial reserves were nowhere near what they should be? I bet you just accepted that was the case didnt you. Didnt argue the point at all I bet.
Wookie Surely you know the difference between a lie and sensationalism .

The article came from several sources - the main one being the Australian (where they all bull shitting?)

What does it matter what the bloke had or done? They claimed they had hundreds. when push came to shove they admitted they only had a hand full.

I suspect I did. When I first read the article. But the NRL were quick to correct any miss information.
