NRL launches touch football premiership

[Stallion]

Maybe someone should organise a league unlimited forum touch football day, we could even play under the old rules.

Be nice if it was officially revisited by touch footy Australia. Throw in some more kick opportunities and I'm sure it would be a great success for both RL and Touch footy! Here's hoping.

It's good. I like how they mention that "touch" is born out of rugby league. Would love to see a play the ball with the foot reintroduced. It's important and it's missing!

Bring the bears back as a touch team! That'll get the crowd in!! How many members do they have again?

Oh no. NRL partnering a sport that has close to 1 million participants nation wide to help grow the game

Only a nuffy would see this as negative news. Some of the games greats who have excelled at touch footy have gone onto having successful nrl careers (Johnson, Marshall just a couple off the top of my head)

I think Matt Dufty was a Touch football player as well.

As the NRL want a strategy of a

Northern team Southern team and a Western Sydney

They could do no worse than play Norths Souths and Wests

As they represent the 3 distinct geographical regions of Sydney

The strategy is flawed as it does not take in cultural and historical familiarity and rivalries.

You might like to take note and understand the significance and importance of those factors. It will give you a better overall outlook of what makes a competition credible and popular.

they could have a catch phrase like: "Don't touch the bears".

Cool. I am a little surprised that Souths aren't in but too bad for them. It is great that Cronulla have been excluded again.

So some clubs who said they couldn’t afford to run a women’s team can throw money at a team in a different sport.

 

[Clifferd]

Cool. Another comp we can be dominant in

One is amateur, one is professional, one has 12 players one has 17.

Mate, when you spout opinions like Brooky doesn't need an upgrade because you prefer to sit on the hill you lose all credibility - lol

One is rugby league. One is not.

 

[Perth Red]

Combine them and we'd have a more credible comp lol

^ Sydney teams played last week and 36,000 fans turned up. The "significance and importance" seems to be in your head!

One is rugby league. One is not.

No matter how many time you state it is a different sport, it will not change the fact that it has now been incorporated under the NRL banner making it a part of Rugby League and really making your opinion 100% irrelevant.

Touch is as much RL as T20 is cricket
