Talking Footy

This is what i could find re: Junior Rugby League in Victoria after being told my son had plenty of clubs to choose from. None in Gippsland at all... I'm happy to stand corrected however as I don't see the failure of rl to make decent in roads as something to gloat about but just trying to point out where the work needs to go.

there are 9 seperate competitions in Melbourne
ages U11's 18's & 2 open aged comps for men .... First Grade

I can't find info on mini comps in Melb .. but I know there are another 5 age groups there
6-10

another 40 sides

thats 118 sides & approx 2400 players ... club registered

You said there were 150 clubs Dave ? Not sides.

Dave that says 8 clubs in that fixture? 8!!! I will try and find how many sides they fill but I believe that was first grade ladder.


I said none my son could play in we're we lived. Which is still true

Did you really try suggest there were 150 rugby league clubs? Oh deary me, caught out lying yet again. FFS, did you honestly believe any of us would believe that rubbish? Serious question.

The check this out for Sydney comp. 1 premier divisin, 5 senior divisions , 2 under 18 divisions , 2 women divisions ... I wonder how many junior clubs. And this is just Sydney from what I can tell.

And this http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page ... 1047-0-0-0.

And here are the junior leagues in NSW ....

http://www.aflnswact.com.au/index.php?id=25

Each leauge with several clubs ... Look at Sydney .. Divided I think into 5 leagues ....


Now do you see what I and others mean Dave when we look at the development of Aussie rules in NSW and qld as compared to rl in Victoria. As I said my son couldn't play rl where we lived. Even if he wanted to he couldn't. If we lived in Melbourne and he wanted to we would be traveling all over the place to play as team over 100klms apart are playing each other because there is the one make shift leauge . The nrl need to put the work into here, grass roots to grow the game .

Dave.. Where did you get your source if 150 clubs in Melbourne ??? Did you make this up or guess ? Or were you quoting something ?

I said teams dickhead

& there are almost that many in Victoria ( nearly all in Melbourne )
some 2500 club registered players
from near zero to 2500 in 15 years

vicky kicky has only increased its tally by about this same amount in 31 years in Sydney
from 5500 to 8500

wow
just wow ... =D> =D> =D> =D>

teams tool... teams

learn to read you gimp

So where are these 150 teams my 10 year could have played for ? You saw the same site as I did Dave ... There is barely a presence in Melbourne for rl. That is what the nrl need to get . Compare that to the leagues that the AFL has in Sydney ... It's Hugh .
