"The festival welcomed more than 1500 participants across league tag and tackle formats"

Noteworthy phrase is "league tag and tackle formats". Participation is maximized when RL clubs present the game as a contact/non-contact package.

League Tag is possibly one of the factors producing superior NSW pathways over QLD. Spread the net wide, at the earliest age, and more talent is discovered and developed. Only a small percentage graduating from Tag to Tackle is required for success.

Rugby League is habitually depicted in the media as the final word in brutality. Most parents will want their daughters sticking with Netball and Soccer if their experience of RL is limited to watching NRL on TV.

Only seen highlights of under-19s Origin. Competitive game, looks as though the Blues were always in control.

Matter of time before someone gets injured in overly vigorous try celebrations.

Agreed. QLD will need to have a City vs Country selection game as they didn't look match fit compared to NSW.

Over the top and unnecessary.
