the AFL come every year
Last year they did after school camps.
I know because my kid went to it.
4 arvo sessions
They got a football and some blue tooth speakers.
Then I copped multiple follow up calls about the kids joining a league.

I am sure the NRL would love to run programs like that but it costs a lot of money and the NRL clubs don't want the NRL to have that kind of money.

If an NRL CEO tried to run a program like that he would be axed within minutes.

Matt Johns reckons one of the best ways to grow rugby league participation and viewership would be to fund the high school competition (the old Commonwealth Bank cup).
He said something like make the prize for winning something high schools would salivate over. $200k or whatever. He thinks high schools have a better chance of getting kids playing than local clubs.

They still have the national high school competition.
I’m not sure the increase in $ would do anything, the same few sports high schools would continue to dominate like they have for the past 20 years.

They shit all over us in terms of getting at at juniors. They are beating us to the punch in nsw and qld and we barely exist outside those states, and they aren’t just getting players in front of kids, they are putting afl fields in schools. I see four dumb looking posts in Penrith when I go back there, I see them SE Qld when I’m there and on the central coast where I live, They are trying to kill us from the ground up. They have a bigger presence and their game is a much easier sell to mothers and fathers worried about their little kids getting hurt.

2019
Afl spending on game development $58.8mill
Nrl $40.4 mill (+$46.3mill to states)

thank the clubs for taking that extra $32mill a year away from grassroots!

maybe if the nrl clubs stopped leaching millions of $’s a year from the LC’s there’d be more jnr programs happening?

Seems the jnr stuff is very convoluted in RL with nrl, nswrl and clubs all involved. Wasn’t this one of Richo’s future of the game ideas to bring it all together split into 11 regions, but the clubs and nswrl refused?

The afl is getting a lot more bang for their buck. It doesn’t matter if we are close to matching their figures, they do it a shit load better than we do and they are doing in our apparent ‘heartlands’.

Yep. Getting sick of seeing a number on the NRL report.

Where the hell is that money going and what are the benefits to the game of rugby league from the spend?

Anyone have any details at all. The NRL is invisible at jnr level.

varirty of areas including DO’s, coach and ref training, jnr programs etc

Nationally, Club Rugby League grew by 1.23 per cent. This was largely driven by female participation which continued its strong upward trend with 18.4 per cent growth across all ages

The NRL continued to support community rugby league by educating, supporting and developing volunteer coaches. In 2019, our dedicated
Game Development team delivered 489 Coach Education courses as well as providing additional support through the Coach Development Program and our digital Coaching Resources to over 13,000 registered coaches nationally.


Throughout the year, over 1700 new referees were formally trained across 600 courses delivered nationally.

The NRL’s new national introductory rugby league program – League Stars – was launched in July 2019 with over 200 boys and girls participating in official launch events held concurrently in Sydney and Brisbane.
League Stars introduces boys and girls aged five- to-12 to the basic skills of rugby league through a structured program delivered after school and during the school holidays. League Stars focuses on getting new participants and families involved in rugby league through fun, developmentally appropriate non-contact activities and games.
In developing League Stars, the NRL undertook extensive consumer and market research and consulted with a variety of stakeholders and subject matter experts to best understand the diverse needs of families that are living increasingly busy lives. The program addresses traditional barriers to participation and provides greater accessibility for parents and children to sample rugby league for the first time.
League Stars has made a positive impact in 2019 with over 11,000 registered participants consisting of 81 per cent registering to rugby league for the first time. Our Game Development Officers have delivered over 500 programs nationally in the short period the program has been in market.
League Stars is the perfect introduction to rugby league for new participants and provides the platform for future participation growth.

that’s because the jnr programs in the Afl heartland states are largely run by the State body without afl central funding. Means the afl can fund a lot more into its expansion areas. Nrl is totally the opposite with the expansion states getting a tiny % of the funding and nsw and queensland getting the lions share. Until the clubs and nswrl and qrl step up it will remain the case.

... and 'League Stars' has cost the NRL how much?

'... extensive consumer and market research...'

Does that mean the NRL finally copied the AFL model.

why would anyone take on the role as NRL CEO now? you would have to be a complete masochist
it would be funny if the commission couldn't literally get anyone to officially take on the job.
