Talking Footy

Whilst our truly indigenous/national game continues to thrive with more and more NSW/ACT players joining AFL playing lists, why has there still not been 1 player from VIC/SA/WA or TAS in the NRL?

Well done beassie well done....................... =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>


You are a twitt, honestly your threads are terrible....

So while you do have more NSW/ACT then we have Vic,SA,WA,TAS........we have more Fiji, NZ, Eng, Samoa, PNG, Cook islands.....the list could go on forever.....


Beassie the fucken ******..... =D> =D> =D> =D>

So for 30 years work and tens of millions of dollars you have 22 players from the whole of NSW

=D> =D>

This thread has nothing to do with the number of international players

It beutifully demonstrates how far the AFL has expanded nationally and conversely how poorly RL has. This further confirms ARs as Australia's true national game =D> =D>

As opposed to RL with 15 years of astounding storm success in Victoria, and zero results!

Currently, yes. How many SA, Vic, WA and Tas born and bred players does the nRL have?

1 player

How much has the AFL spent on NSW compared to the NRL on Melbourne dhead?

Plus there will be atleast another 2 born and raised players debut for Melbourne this year

Before the Giants were announced? Probably not a whole lot more than has been spent in Vic for rl. Despite all the success the Storm have had, only 1 player comes from there!

Well done beassie well done....................... =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>


You are a twitt, honestly your threads are terrible....

So while you do have more NSW/ACT then we have Vic,SA,WA,TAS........we have more Fiji, NZ, Eng, Samoa, PNG, Cook islands.....the list could go on forever.....


Beassie the fucken ******..... =D> =D> =D> =D>

This is the most insane and irrelevant thing you've posted on these forums. Robbie Farrah was not born in Lebanon you ******, he was born in NSW. Minechello wasn't born in Italy, he was born in NSW. In a thread about where players are born and bred, you're talking about people's ethnic ancestry, which is IRRELEVANT. The whole point of the thread is to highlight the inroads made by the AFL in the NSW market. Having someone of Lebanese descent playing Rugby League doesn't indicate that the game has made inroads into Lebanon, any more than having Andrew Demetriou play football indicates the game is going gangbusters in Greece.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make in the context of this thread. If it's that the nRL has players with a more diverse ancestry than the AFL (it doesn't), I don't understand what you think you win? This thread is about how the growth of grass roots football in NSW is bearing fruit at the elite level, as opposed to Rugby League's lack of investment in grass roots football in Vic, SA, WA and Tas.
