Exactly, Union players can switch to League. You're very proud of your WA numbers.. and NZ has about 6 × the amount of players.. not including the ones that have come to Australia. Another NZ team would double that by pulling kids over from Union to around 12× WA and once established and Super Rugby fails that will explode to around 25× the amount of players in NZ to WA .. when you allow for the fact that Kiwis are 5× as suitable to Rugby league then West Australians.

I wasn't calling you out, you overly sensitive git.The stated Union numbers vary between 140k-160k registered players depending on what you read. The NZRU governing body claim:
New Zealand Rugby has today confirmed 147,434 players for the 2023 season, an increase of 7 per cent, with women and girls' participation to 29,448.
Junior male numbers though are declining with 49,999 junior club boys registered, down 2 per cent on 2022.
However, senior men's club saw an increase of 3 per cent on 2022 to 33,500 players.

In 2023 there were more Women playing Union. And in Iran the Brown hijab is making a comeback- other not current or news we give a f**k aboutThe stated Union numbers vary between 140k-160k registered players depending on what you read. The NZRU governing body claim:

That relies on the assumption that union players will instantly switch to league. The grassroots level outside of Auckland is less than amateur, in many provinces it’s essentially run by gangs (and rival gangs at that), you will not get many Pakeha boys going anywhere near it until that changes dramatically.
All pretty good points but the conversion rate will be more of a generational effect in a sense. Right now 10 year old kids are probably noticing League much more than years past, another team will dramatically see that increase .
Really highlights how poor Perths chances are. Classic.
Don't be such a f**kwit all the time.
Of all the lies told on this forum, this is by far the biggest.
Curious if there’s a comparative for Canterbury last year/2022 Crusaders going into their worst season since 96 vs Warriors coming off one of their best whether it’s a recent swing or a longer term trend.
