New era dawns for Auckland College RL

[Bombay Devils RLFC]

This is great news for NZ and RL in general.

Despite the warriors not doing so well on the field the owners are putting their money where their mouths are.

Hopefully traditional RU schools will follow in the future.

Thats interesting that the Auckland RL and Warriors are prepared to take on union during their season. Shows a growing confidence.

Other parts of the country we have to play outside of the union season.

Gotta laugh. we all rejoice in these small wins for NZ RL when we continue to remain silent on the unofficial banning of RL in the GPS schooling system in Sydney. I once asked the Riverview College groundskeeper if they had a RL team. He politely informed me " we don't play that game here". Seemed they played soccer, basketball, hockey, tennis etc, but no RL. Ironically half the kids at the school support the West Tigers and would love to play RL for the schoold (if offered) as opposed to the RU tripe they are indoctrinated in to on the first day at College. f**king Union C**nts. The English class system has a lot to answer for.

As a former student of Trinity Grammar Sydney,I heartly concur with your comments.The discrimination that continues against rugby league in these establishments in the 21st Century,is dark ages stuff.I smell the fear.

That's because it's their last bastion, if RL was to infiltrate GPS schools, this would start to erode RU from the sporting map and they know it. The hypocritical line of there's no interest in that sport even though half of the 1st XV sides are contracted to NRL clubs or play in club competitions and RL especially here in QLD is the most popular code of footy by a mile.

It's similar to the Defence Forces in the UK pre-95 where the officialdom would argue black and blue that there was no interest in League even though most of the personnel came from the north and hence why the game was never offered or allowed to be participated in by the defence force.

Who are the "they" that have all the power over sport in GPS schools?

So who makes the decisions? The individual schools? Surely they would be heavily influenced by what their customers want, i.e. the parents. After all, private schooling is very expensive, and operates in a very competitive marketplace. Surely the consumers of private schooling have all the power to decide which sports their little darlings will play?


Money talks. If parents are not getting what they want, they should either agitate to get it, or go elsewhere.

Riverview started playing rugby league on weekends a few years back, I remember them being the first GPS school to do so. Funny thing is, they ban rugby league and allow afl which is just as big a threat.

With the media and (current) federal government bias, I would say afl is a bigger threat than league....

With Penrith having a home game yesterday, surely you went down for a look, especially as you "like" Rugby League...
