    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    Well V'Landys keeps saying NRL is bigf34 than AFL so........ I also mentioned basketball in the late 80s early 90s and they weren't cashed up and did an amazing job.

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    I agree with the first past for sure that's a really good point. Possibly the whole country is underfunded. Whether you love or hate Aussie Ruled I don't think you could argue that they do a great job as far as game development goes and I think Rugby League should learn from them.

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    Hence why I said just to name a few. I really want to see the game grow down here but we need more resources. Surely with record numbers and 21% growth now is the time for us to get more resources tocfister that.

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    Dean Jones has just had the one day cup named after him. Reifell and Fleming Crucial in the 99 world cup. Elliott would have played a lot more if not for that knee injury when he was going really well. Hodge was a world class player but another very high profile cricketer told me Ponting didn't...

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    I'm not actually sure nut if you want to build interest in non traditional areas you gotta put the resources. Look at Isaac Heeney at the Swans from Newcastle abd was Brownlow favourite till he hot suspended last year. The Lions had 7 Queensland's in their premiership team cause AFL put the...

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    Brad Hodge, Matt Elliott, Reifell, Fleming Dean Jones just to name a few. If you don't line Aussie rules fair enough but I can't by the idea that's it's a low skilled game. Love it or hate it te skills of AFL players are amazing. Look at Victoria's contribution to the NBA vs other states of...

    NRL VIC news and competitions 2025

    Its a bugbear of mine. Think NRL Victoria have 9 employees. AFL NSW have 270 employees and I think 9 offices around the state. Scott and the team do a great job but NRL HQ needs to take Victoria more seriously.

    NRL VIC news and competitions 2025

    Being involved with the Bendigo Crushers it would be great to get a Ballarat team up and running especially given the rivalry between the 2 towns. You could start a Goldfields comp with Bendigo Ballarat Stawell Su bury and Melton could also put lower strength sides in. One hurdle for us atm is...

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    Agreed but this is the problem with V'Landys in both the sports he runs he cares about the top end but not the grass roots

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    I want to make it clear that what I'm about to say is NOT a reflection of anyone at NRL Vic. I have found Scott helpful. As a love of noth Aussie rules and Rugby League I was starting up Aussie rules in Bourke outback NSW population 2500 (left before it got very far) and now I am slPrrsident of...

    Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

    I want to say from the start this is NOT a knock on the staff at NRL Victoria they have been fantastic in my dealings with them but I believe they have 9 staff members where as AFL NSW/ACT have 270. Why?

    NRL Victoria

    Hey guys. New to this forum but I'm president of the newly formed Bendigo Crushers. Plans is for us to be playing next year, possibly in a Spring comp. Would really like to see a Ballarat team get up and running and either reform the old Central Highlands comp pr maybe call it the Goldfields comp.

    The Game 2024 Draw - venues, home game allocations etc

    With the first 5 games it's great that they have decided to give Storm a hone game in round 1 before AFL starts in Melbourne and also in round 5 they have given Storm a blockbuster v the Broncos thr same weekend AFL have gather round in Adelaide. I hate the code bashing between AFL and NRL as...
