Given we as a society are moving further and further away from being 'tough' i'd suggest the mantle of
toughest sport will slowly prove a noose around the neck of rugby league when it comes to junior participation. I don't see the trend swinging back the ohter way any time soon, and football, basketball and soccer will be the beneficiaries.
If being considered 'soft' increases the number of juniors taking up the sport, we're happy to wear that badge.

pretty much exactly what i was thinking
take this tough tag all you want, 20 years from now no one will be playing your sport because of it
i guess people like dave can go back to wrestling in his bedroom

Gee I saw Nathan Buckley once ... On TV doesn't look so big but in person he is huge. And yet next to some AFL players head smaller ?? Jono brown, much bigger than Cameron smith ... I think one of the most courageous players in league has been Alfie langer yet he is hardly Huge ... No neck though lol. To say all AFL players are skinny is just, well, stupid and shows any real knowledge of the game.

weedy

powder puffs
if they come from NSW & QLD & choose the derpies & fumbles
it means they simply aren't tough enough mentally to hack it in RL ... so choose the soft girly option

Or maybe , just maybe, they prefer the sport. He'll in my sons team some kids play both ? Some kids will fluctuate between the two. Although I agree, a few kids have come over because of the size of the islander kids ... I believe in places they are now playing in weight divisions because of this very issue.
A couple of kids play union or league in school teams also and AFL on weekends. I know one kid who captains his league team and is a good AFL player too.
So not as cut and dry dave .
The other reason a parent has told me is they had their kids go play rl and returned as he found the parents to be feral.

It's also about choice. More people are playing AR because they have the choice, not only in Australia but the rest of the world.
I'm sure some more people would play rl in the world if they knew about it but obviously not as much as AR.

Another example of why rl fans are sending rl down the gurgler or should I say bubbler.

And sometimes the father is wrong and he only realised half of what his boys could become dave.

While the rl boys may leave because it's too rough and they are frightened for their bodies, the AFL bound ladettes leave for entirely different reasons.
I pronounce this thread officially toasted.
