So AFL in NSW/ACT/Qld 100 players compared to NRL Vic/SA/WA 1 player.
That just about sums up the difference in grassroots support at the moment. Get your act together NRL and pour some money into places outside your traditional areas in OZ.

Where, you post shit, that isnt evidence, only of your stupidity!

Well in Gold Coast you get a lot of ex pats, a lot of locals who have just gone for AFL, and some leauge people who have come across as their kids take up the sport. This later one I was quite surprised about. Doing my rostered BBQ duty and talking to a few dads , several in the group had come across from their kids playing rl. They still prefer nrl but said they can watch AFL now as understand the rules more. A big comment was how unprofessionally run the local rl comp is... They stated that the AFL comp is simply miles in front in looking after the teams and comp. The other issue was that there were to many islander kids that were far too big both height and size..., they said they just dominated the comp... So AFL suited their sons body type . I expect raider to make some derogatory comment about these children ... They're just kids Dave having fun... Let it go. The other thing was about the parents with a NZ rugby union man whose son just came back from a year in rl comp (diff time and place from other blokes I had conversation with ) with him stating he preferred women to have teeth ... Suggesting a pretty fetal population following junior rl.

The other thing is, whether it not the people coming through playing at AFL level are ex pats or not , the fact they have an avenue to play AFL and develop their skills to such a high level I think is the highlight of how Aussie rules had made a presence . If my son wanted to play rl when in Victoria he simply couldn't have ... There are it were no rl clubs whatsoever . He could play soccer, baseball , basketball , hockey, swimming, squash, tennis , and numerous other sports ... But not rl. There in lies the difference I think.

RL needs to develop the local RL clubs on the back of the Storms success or they could miss a big opportunity. The Storms only got 3 or 4 more premierships in them over the next 5-6 years and then they will probably fall back into the pack.

Wow do you want me to go into how many players the NRL has from ENG, NZ, FIJI, SAMOA, TONGA, PNG.

Please i would rather the NRL build the game in NZ, FIJI, SAMOA, TONGA, PNG before they build it in Tas, SA.
