Youre wrong. RL is barely seen here in Victoria, even less seen in WA, and unheard of in SA and Tas.
10,000 registered club RL players in the vfl states
that's tripled since 1998
that figure will triple again in the next 15 years
meanwhile vfl registered club player growth in nsw & qld is stagnet
not doing anything as has been reported many times
this is the real picture
don't let any deluded lying fumblers tell you any different

That's funny RD the NRL E-Brochure lists only 2774 registered players in Victoria? As you are saying VFL you must mean only Victoria - if your talking about the REST of the AFL playing states (and I assume you mean Vic, SA, WA and Tassie although NT can be included in that!)
Then am afraid your wrong
Vic 2778
WA 2733
SA 1053
Tas 109
Total 6713 let's be optimistic and say 6800
Hardly 10000 registered players - also just like you like to remind AFL people about AF in NSW - RL has been in Australia over 100 yrs and what have you got outside NSW/QLD 9100 players still 900 short of 10000.
So out of the approx 11 million Australians that live outside NSW/QLD LESS than 10k play RL, I wouldn't be bragging RD!
Pitty you don't research before you post!
