18th club, whose next?

[MugaB]

Don't qld and nsw get 20mill each of the NRL?

Yep, they run two of the biggest reserves grade comps in RL... most of those clubs run at a loss, without them there is no NRL top 30 feeding thru, so thats why they get a vote each aswell as a slice of pie, how many teams in WA are ready to play against the likes of newtown jets or blacktown eagles, im sure that would end very one sided, as those clubs are self funded, along with that slice of pie from the NRL

Why do you call funding Australian juniors by the ARLC handouts? It's funding your own sport. Isn't that the role of the commission?

Haha hypocrite, ok for nsw and qlnd to get a $40mill a year ‘hand out‘ but f**k the rest of the country?
I find it very bizarre that you are anti growing rugby league participation. It’s literally in the mandate for the arlc to grow rugby league across Australia. No mention of vegas though?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So WA would spend this money on more of these fifo players that are bolstering their tin pot comp?

Until your comps bear fruits that exceed those clubs from those eastern state comps, you shouldn't be crying poor for hand outs, again those self funded clubs run mostly at a loss, all to be included in those qrl and nsw comps, they are the current pathways to the NRL, WA probably needs to find ways to fund their comps and bring in elite coaches or acedemies, to get upto the standard of these reserve grade comps, no point winning an affiliated states annual comp every year, if the lowest rank team on the eastern states can still whip you by 30.. pokies fund these league clubs, your states pig-headed stance on gambling or gambling funding/support has crippled WA chance at all bids, aswell as the competitiveness of your teams... the comp in itself is fine within playing each other, just not up against the qrl or nswrl clubs, money goes to the clubs and comps that provide junior stocks

It’s literally the ARLC‘s job! If they didnt want the job they shouldn’t have taken over the affiliated state organisations. Games gone backwards in WA since the arlc strong armed out the independent WARL board. We had a Jim beam cup team, a sg ball team, dominated the CAS, beat the qrl country side, had a wa strategic plan etc back then. Now fundings been slashed and the games gone backwards again. The game here can’t generate its own funding as everything is run by arlc. Dumb.

They aren’t fully self funded, they get substantial grants from the arlc. Give each of the wa clubs $750k each like they are getting and half a dozen nrl fringe players and see how they go, all being equal and all that,

Surely not having an NRL club is the biggest hurdle for the local comp

Fk being equal, open up some pokie dens, fund your own comps like the eastern states have had to then pump out juniors, then the arlc will slice you into the pie, as it stands WA seems to be crying poor, and not showing much effort to grow the sport via its competition, like i said, your comp in itself is fine but put any one of your teams up against a qrl side, and the quality difference or competitiveness is lacking, arlc aint going to fund a comp that serves no returns, invest, grow the sport, get good at it, then they'll come, otherwise enjoy your local comp and keep on begging

Our states not dumb like yours and isn’t going to inflict social misery on the community just so some semi pro rugby league players can get paid.

you really dont seem to understand the structure of the sport you follow! the game in WA is owned and run by the arlc since 2013. It’s not independent and is run by nrlhq. So when you say ‘you’ should, you are talking about the arlc, not the good people of wa.

when the game was run locally we were growing, had entered Jim beam cup, had an sg ball side had a strategic plan that included a nsw cup team by 2018 etc. arlc took over and it’s gone backwards. So stop with your “you have to grow” bs. We can’t because we are being run by the idiots at nrlhq on the smell of an oily rag!

I hope the people running the game don't think like that.

 

[Perth Red]

This was the strat plan released in 2012 just before the arlc took over the game here. ambitious for sure but now we have no board, no ceo, no strat plan and are reliant on nrlhq who thinks anywhere outside nsw and queensland is a waste of money, for everything. like I said dumb.

You need to pay for refs etc, That money is for running cost

nope, all clubs get grants for reserve grade teams and those teams also get funding directly from nswrl and qrl out of the pot. currently $350k from state body and around $400k from nrl directly to the nrl club for the reserve grade comps. .

Because it makes zero sense to pay all states the same. Some local districts here have more juniors then the whole state over there

 

[MugaB]

Which is why a doubt any reason that a WA team will get a licence anytime soon, there's nothing on offer... it doesn't matter who is responsible for the comp...oily rag is the price for being above the social misery

Btw great win over the u17 invitational side today, right in the last minute, arm stretched out, great try

That's true. I just dont see how anyone could call Junior funding a handout.
