juniors only , so what D head .... the total number wouldn't be 10,000 all up ( junior /senior) in Sydney anyway. ( 28500 in all of NSW) , hardly anything to whack ones willy about considering the money spent in attracting new players & the amount of time the sport has been played in NSW/ Sydney
I'd say there were already 20,000 vicky kicky players in NSW when the Swines came to Sydney in 1982
meaning growth results have been pathetic at best
RL has only really been played with any real purpose in Melb since the 1980's
& when the Storm started up in 1998 there were only a few hundred players
there are now 2,600 registered club RL players in Victoria ( all in Melb ) & thats with 1/100th of the money spent
whats gunna happen when the commission actually throws some money at participation in the non heartland states
when they take oztag ( a great little non contact version of RL for boys & girls ) to schools in Vic SA & WA

.. be afraid
be very afraid
