Rugby League goalposts

[langpark]

I might be getting permission soon to set up some goalposts at my local field.

I am sure I will have more questions later on, but for now the main thing I'd like to know is; For the full-size, NRL-style goalposts, does anyone know how deep into the ground they go?

Digging post holes is one of the easiest things to do, as long as you have the right gear. And there's plenty of advice online about how deep you should dig, depending on the height of the posts. But first you should check if it is sandy soil or is it full of roots or rocks. That will help you to decide if you just need to shovel or hire an auger. If the soil is soft it will be an easy dig but you should go deeper and wider and shovel concrete in the hole.

The posts can be as high as you like, but the NRL and Rugby League International Federation, has Wikipedia as your friend:

On each goal line are two goal posts 5.5 metres apart connected by a cross bar 3 metres from the ground. Each goal post is 16 metres in height (however they can be built higher) and for the purpose of judging a goal are considered to extend upwards indefinitely. The posts and crossbar form an "H" shape.
