Just for the record.
Does 2015 ring a bell?

GPS boys are big league fans. There schools just play union that’s all.
If there isn’t already enough in the world that makes him shit himself anywayAgreed but it will be a monumental shift to have league played in those schools. Peter Fitz will shit himself.
Just having the game played in those schools will hurt union a lot. And it will diminish fumble presence. Win winAfl is already in those schools getting the tall bean stalks
in terms of getting more players I doubt it would most of the good ones would already also play league
the significance is unions last bastion is giving up
More league fans in private schools is good long term for business connections
Put Vlandy's in the hall of fame now... No wait, first administrator to be inducted as an immortal.The NRL is set to deliver a hammer blow to the Wallabies’ rugby union talent factory by muscling in on the city’s prestigious GPS private school sporting competition, with rugby league boss Andrew Abdo saying “the door is more open now than it’s ever been.”
It can be revealed senior bosses at the National Rugby League have already held meetings with some of Sydney’s most elite private boys schools in an official push to introduce rugby league as a GPS sport, for the first time in over 100 years. It is a move which would shatter Wallabies fans’ hearts in the historic rugby union heartland.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo has told The Daily Telegraph the ARL “Commission is very focused on this, and they’ve given us the task of developing a strategy to do just that, and that is, build a relationship.”
This is a good point. People say that AFL has stolen a chunk of Brisbane and Sydney from RL during the SL war which is true to an extent but their major incursion from the 2000s to now has decimated Union much more than it has RL. Good to see we are joining in nowThis is as much about stopping fumbleball from muscling on this as well, I believe that many private schools run fumbleball programmes as well now, they know this is where a lot of people who go into the corporate world are educated.
Hopefully we`ll start to see something similar done with the universities, another place where f-ball posts have sprung up everywhere and for the same reasons.
More room taken up by League, less room for the other crowd.
It`s a virtuous circle in so many ways.
That's the "AFL Speaky" moveI have heard whispers the ARU are close to sealing a deal with a very recent world famous "athlete". The synergy of this deal for the wallabies is off the charts.

1 billion TV viewersJust caught a glimpse of the Wallabies. f**k they can’t do the most basic things right, conceded 8 penalties in 40 minutes. Down 21-0 at halftime at Suncorp the venue they are at their best at.
I watched the game, I'm stating the obvious here ...but F me it's a bludger of a sport. The ball is rarely in play for longer than 30 seconds before a knock on or penalty.Just caught a glimpse of the Wallabies. f**k they can’t do the most basic things right, conceded 8 penalties in 40 minutes.

The NRL is in talks with private school powerbrokers to bring rugby league to the sporting fields of elite NSW and Queensland private schools which have been exclusive to rugby union.The NRL is set to deliver a hammer blow to the Wallabies’ rugby union talent factory by muscling in on the city’s prestigious GPS private school sporting competition, with rugby league boss Andrew Abdo saying “the door is more open now than it’s ever been.”
