Great crowds this year, huge tv ratings and NSW reporting 100,000 participants already this year prior to many comps starting. Feel good factor is huge. That’s what drives new sponsors, and better tv deals. It’s taken a while but PVL and Abdo have the game humming. Yep they’ve made mistakes but I think they’ve got it right. Diversifying the player base with league tag is still a work in progress but check the Sharks district player base to see the future. The game has to be for everybody, tackle and tag. A true community game where mums and dads can play a version of the game in the same club as their kids.
