Extra 22 teams for Women & Girls and inclusion of 9 teams for "Try time" comps but at least no reduction in mens & boys this year with A Grade & U/19's actually up 1 team.Penrith 629 (598)
I’m surprised they haven’t focussed on league tag in the district.Extra 22 teams for Women & Girls and inclusion of 9 teams for "Try time" comps but at least no reduction in mens & boys this year with A Grade & U/19's actually up 1 team.
A good result - A Grade & Under 18's is up by 7 teams, which is the number in the "emerging cup". This competition was played for several years in the past but lapsed in recent times. This comp is open to players with very little experience in club footy. Last year the Under 18's ran a 4 team in the Gold Division but this year there are only 3 in Gold and 4 in Silver, so perhaps another district might join say South Sydney.Posting team numbers and comparing to last year. A boring task but I’m resilient. 2023 teams in ()
so far
Cronulla 428 (391)

Not sure about that. Under 12s and below appear to be a mix of tackle and tagIt looks like more than 260 of those teams are TAG.
Should Group 6 & Wests be added to give the picture for the Wests Macarthur area?Group 6 300 (300)
total 1695 so far (last years total was 2795). Potential to reach 3000
That seems to be what the tigers are doing these days. Do we then add Balmain?Should Group 6 & Wests be added to give the picture for the Wests Macarthur area?
I guess yes if talking about WT, but no if talking about regions.That seems to be what the tigers are doing these days. Do we then add Balmain?
The Illawarra south coast numbers are available. I’ll look at later. Agree re west’s: group 6I guess yes if talking about WT, but no if talking about regions.
At the senior level the old Campbelltown clubs became Wests and have now effectively merged with Group 6. So Campbelltown City Kangaroos would play against G6 clubs now.
the junior / kids level is I think still seperate - but my son (he is 30 now) isn’t involved anymore so I don’t watch it now.
Be interesting to see the Illawarra & Sth Coast numbers when they become available.
Only 3 clubs these days but it looks like 49 teams - Bondi 17, Clovelly 24, Paddo 8.East’s have 45 teams. 50 last year. Lordy lord.
