    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    Your right kbw they need to run ads on tv stating how safe mini footy is appeal to the mums who won’t let their kids play.Cos their message is not getting through to the mothers most mums think League is to rough for their little Johnny to play.

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    Yes definitely PR. Every governing body thinks the other body is doing all the work,but in escence the junior clubs basically run themselves with a little bit of funding from the senior clubs but I have heard stories of the senior clubs withholding money promised to the junior clubs in the...

    Qatar Sheikh Wanting To Buy NRL Club

    Let’s give the him a go. He couldn’t go much worse than Doust has performed over the last 15 years. A change is what we need, new ideas new management new coach. Sign him up before he walks away I say. Doust start packing your bags now. Mary you can pack your bags as well.

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    I have a theory on why we have had a sudden drop off in junior numbers in the last 3 years. Alex Mckinonn was injured right as junior league was signing kids up and I remember a lot of mothers taking their kids out of League and straight into soccer and the way his injury was played out in the...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    Stallion we both have spoken on here a few times about getting into the schools and being really aggressive about it like the Afl do. You would have more of an idea than me being a school teacher do you see any improvement from the nrl re Rugby League programs or anything at all from the...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    St George junior numbers was the reason I started this thread. They have 3 of the 9 junior clubs with only 3 teams. Unless the Dragons really push hard to try and build these 3 clubs up I fear for the whole St George area.. I rang the nrl and tried to organise help for recruitment for this...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    I think your right Stallion League tag has potential if it can get a fair go in the schools. I reckon WA’s 18 and Victoria’s 17 will grow on the back of the western force folding in WA and the storm doing well every year plus the storms membership numbers are climbing very high now...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    I wanted to bump this thread back up to the top because the Nrl has let junior league numbers drop and has left it to the individual clubs to try and rebuild but the clubs would rather spend their money on current first grade players not thinking of the future. The Nrl now realises they have a...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    That’s good to hear about the Roosters mini comp growing I have 2 young nephews playing u6’s for Clovelly and I’m pretty sure they play Sunday mornings. I heard Peter Tunks absolutely going crazy on the radio during the week bagging the Roosters for their lack of juniors. Its encouraging when...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    Wow! Sounds very positive over in the West. If the Nrl play their cards right they could really grow the game there. Let’s hope someone from the Nrl are reading these impressive stats you have quoted and invest some money there. Be good if some of the Sydney clubs would be this proactive...

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    I was trying to be positive and just see if the Nrl actually can follow through with actions. I don’t have much faith myself but I wanted a forum that people can actually talk about some positive news regarding growing junior numbers. Perth Red blew me away with his information on all those...

    Good to hear PR I wonder if the demise of Rugby union in WA is already improving League numbers over there.

    Grassroots ( junior league) keeping Nrl accountable!

    So the Nrl was quoted several times this year saying they want to spend millions on grassroots Rugby League. John Grant waxed lyrical about ploughing money into junior footy the old clown has no idea thank god he is going. I hope Peter Beatie has a crack. It’s the off season now heading into a...

    2SM and Talkin' Sport.

    Did anyone hear Tunksy going on and on about the Roosters juniors collapsing. He reckons they only have 4 junior teams despite one bloke ringing in saying they have their own 6,7,8’s competitions with the club doing plenty of work recently trying to build numbers.. Tunksy was making a fool of...

    RLWC Pros and Cons

    Pro: was how the woman’s game has come along. The skills the girls displayed were amazing. I managed to attend 2 games and really loved the vibe and atmosphere. The drums at the Lebanon game was something I won’t forget. Just walking through Townsville and seeing all the players promoting the...

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    They nearly ruined the whole World Cup by price gouging the fans. Shame on them. I’d rather them drop the price and have full stadiums than have the game embarrassed like it was in the semi and final..

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    Organisers should get down to King George’s square where they are showing the game on the big screen and just hand those die hard fans free tickets.Those fans really deserve a reward for being loyal and it will fill the ground to capacity.
