Within the same restrictions of the TAC Cup. The only difference between the two is the age limit and the NRL doesn't have a draft. The TAC Cup has teams in Tasmania and New South Wales as previously mentioned.

no the nrl doesnt have a draft because each club is reponsibile to scout and produce its own talent through the many youth leagues and the u20s national competition

Titans were a new team once, they won plenty of games in their first year, the Storm won plenty in their first season as did the Warriors and North QLD.

I see Widnes in the ESL got promoted from the Championship this season, they've won a few games too.

All I see from the vFL is tanking and taking the foot off the accelerator when vlad gets on the phone. How else do you explain some teams raking up near 100 points in the first half and the newbies winning the last quarter and in some the 2nd half?

Bahahahahaha, fake as hell compromised comp.

The game moves fast, so any team will take their foot off the accelerator when they know they're safe. It's called preserving fitness.

Even the Titans are several years old now and the others are even older. The Suns have only been in the AFL for two years and the Giants are in their first season in the AFL.

Stop talking about things you don't understand, Parra. Go away.

can you please explain what the 'restrictions' are?

Your right, the nrl doesnt use a draft system. It is structured around its youth system, the u20's national league team and scouting young talent and nurturing it. There are also public and catholic schools that compete in elite competitions and are used by the nrl clubs to develop talent, i dunno if the afl has a strong school competition please let me now if they do.

I do not understand why the AFL does not look into a youth national comp. I think the AFL has put it in the too hard basket cos of 4 teams that wouldnt be abke to survive on the talent available in their area/city/state. Brisbane, sydney, gws and gold coast would have the same problems as the melbourne storm have with little to no juniors/youth players, but using a similar system the storms which has been proven effective for their u20s (basucally they have been given an area with rugby league players and competitions to develop). The AFL could create a national youth comp.

It can't afford a national youth comp. The travel required would be too great (Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and SE Queensland). That's the restriction I'm talking about. The NRL youth comp does as much travelling as the TAC Cup does - Tasmania and New South Wales only outside of Victoria. There are private school competitions in Victoria and South Australia, and that includes the annual Melbourne Grammar v Scotch College match which AFL scouts are always seen at. They are run by the schools and not the AFL. The AFL in fact leave everything outside of their 18 clubs to the state bodies. SA in particular have never got along with the AFL, and the only reason they even have clubs in the AFL is because Port Adelaide forced their hand in 1990 by trying to go it alone.

There are a lot of things you don't know about the AFL itself and about footy as a whole. It's a very different make up and much more widespread over the country than thugby. Besides - as I said before - a national youth comp for the AFL aligned with senior clubs like the NRL have it would compromise the draft (as well as the travel factor).

Rugby League in PNG

Popularity

Rugby league is the most popular sport in Papua New Guinea and is commonly referred to as the national sport.In a nation where communities are far apart and many people live at a minimal subsistence level, rugby league has been described as a replacement for tribal warfare[citation needed] as a way of explaining the local enthusiasm for the game (a matter of life and death).

The annual Australian State of Origin matches are the most watched sporting event of the year[citation needed]. Australian rugby league players who have played in the annual (Australian) State of Origin clash, which is celebrated feverishly every year in Papua New Guinea, are among the most well known identities throughout the nation.

During the 2000 Rugby League World Cup an estimated audience of 2 million[citation needed] watched the Kumuls lose to the Welsh Dragons in the quarter finals in the early hours of the morning local time. Despite this loss over 50,000 fans welcomed the team at Port Moresby Airport later that week.

Participation

Rugby league has a huge participation rate in the junior level with every school in the country involved in a rugby league competition as rugby league is part of the school curriculum.
There are 5,000 registered players between the ages of 12 and 18. There are 10,000 registered senior players. (15,000 total)

They compete in 40 affiliated leagues around the country. Each league has a minimum of seven clubs and each club has four teams.




Aussie Rules in PNG

Australian rules football in Papua New Guinea is a rapidly developing team sport which was initially introduced by Australian servicemen. The sport has a long and somewhat shaky history, but has recently achieved big strides in the Papua New Guinea community and is now the second most popular sport behind Rugby League.

Papua New Guinea has the second highest number of players and one of the highest junior participation growth rates for the sport in the world

There are 1,920 registered senior players They compete in 7 affiliated leagues around the country (Goroka Football League, Kimbe Football League, Lae Football League, Mt Hagen Football League, Port Moresby Football League, Rabaul Football League, Eastern Highlands Rules Football League)

No, you're dreaming, because the money is not there. Yeah they might play it and watch it, but how much money is there in the game?

Not enough to support an NRL team in my opinion.
