And I do support rugby league. So yes, it is defeatist. If you took you’re NSW blinkers off you’d see how far NRL’s funding has fallen in comparison with its key rival.
Hahhaha

nrl clubs will now be getting 43 percent more in funding than the salary cap. That’s every single nrl club

hence why they all make profits now

unlike your favourite sport

funding for fumble ball has fallen way behind rugby league clubs in terms of percentage over the cap

whilst the fumblers are the exact opposite supporting their expansion teams to the hilt

Complete bullshit.

The big Melbourne clubs were constantly battling with the AFL over concessions given to the Swans, Giants etc. and whinging that they don't get a fair share of revenue, so much so that they made them scrap their cost of living allowance.


Rival clubs expressed dismay, saying it meant the AFL had effectively paid for Kurt Tippett to become a Sydney Swan.

Which clubs aren’t running elite jnr pathways and reserve grade programs? Pretty sure they all do. Difference is some clubs are fortunate enough to be in regions with high participation rates. That’s just good luck, not more investment.

There is no excuse, It isn't 1950 where you need to stay in your borders. Grab a region and spend it there if your local area is no good

Perfect example, Most clubs seem to be adopting that model
The big challenge for the arlc is to make clubs into development clubs like yours

clubs should be getting very generous salary cap exemptions for juniors. The longer they are in the system the bigger the allowance

I’m thinking like 1 to 2 million over the base cap in allowances

this would force clubs to do it

Matt Cameron said he has shared the blue print with clubs that have asked, NRL have poached the boss of the Penrith junior League.

So we will see who is committed to the long road or not

It should be a condition of being a NRL club that you invest a large sum in junior development.
Im just wondering where clubs gonna get the money to fund junior development? The options appear to be via leagues clubs, sponsorship or revenue distributed from the NRL (media rights and wagering etc).

This is why NRL should centralised junior development and set up a system where the clubs have nothing to do with kids under 18. The league and schools oversee junior development.

Similar to American college system and US sports (and yes the rival code). It’s up to the league to run junior development and make it efficient and effective.

This system has so many more benefits than the current NRL junior system as:

- clubs can focus solely on its NRL team (one reason Melbourne Storm and Broncos have been so consistent)
- one consistent training standard applies across the leagues junior program
- bigger sponsorship deals for the whole program is easier to obtain rather than 17 clubs attempting to get sponsors for their own programs
- less administrative burden as league administration controls the program
- less financial waste as clubs not required to set up and administer programs, staff etc and NRL has full control and oversight of where money goes
- allows all clubs access to quality junior talent regardless of where the best junior talent is located
- ends reliance on a hand full of clubs with good junior pathways to provide talent for the whole competition.

If people want less money going to clubs, then the easiest way to take it away from them would be for NRL to centralise and administer junior programs across the country.

If the current junior system is retained, then NRL just gonna have to give more funding to clubs and sit back and watch some clubs just set fire to the cash they’ve been given.

Penrith have done exceptionally well at junior development. Other clubs are 10 years behind them. Credit to them.

There’s probably only 2 clubs in Sydney that could replicate it - Canterbury and Parramatta. The other 14 clubs will just continue to try and poach juniors from the western Sydney clubs.

Manly just culled their junior system. Do roosters have a decent juniors program? Seems unfair to require the western Sydney clubs to provide the bulk of talent for eastern Sydney clubs to poach

Nothing to stop players helping to development juniors now and put something back into the game

Has to happen

arlc job is to turn every club into another Penrith

teams that are always successful should be the ones that do the hard yards and invest in juniors

helps keep winning sides together (good for fans) plus gets junior spending up at little cost to the arlc
