Legit the most frustrating thing, the AFL management just seem to do everything better. Their women's competition will have all 18 teams in it next year. The NRLW still only has 4 teams.
I am not very PC or anything, so this is merely an observation. The kids playing AFL in Sydney (or the area where it has the highest penetration) is the Hills - "bible belt" of Sydney with traditional white families. Most of the kids playing AFL tend to be anglo-celt kids in NSW.
lol Dragons, such a myth...like thier team.....
Not sure if they are doing it over there but here in west they have special programs for refugee kids and are targeting multicultural immigrant areas, very much selling it as “welcome to Australia, assimilate by following and playing the Australian game”. Again smart move.

How AFL is helping refugee children feel more included
Learning how to kick a footy and take a mark are skills many Australian kids learn growing up, but for those who've come across the seas, it can be a foreign concept.

Richmond VFLW player Akec Chuot is no stranger to racism. That's why she's working on getting young people from diverse backgrounds into the AFL at all levels.www.theage.com.au
They have good scouts, I will give them that, they raid Ipswich, Auckland even NSW (Haas)

I hope they end up going with this kind of colour distrirbution, except I'd have silver shorts on the home and red shorts on the away. Anything to space them out from the Dragons really. Image uploads aren't working for me, but warming up the red as per the linked colour palette would help with this as well. A warmer and lighter red also distinguishes them from the Broncos a bit more than a regular or cherry red would.
The words "looks poised" suggests to me that the decision has not yet been announced. Nonetheless various media outlets have been carrying similar articles for the past week or so. If the decision has indeed been made it should be announced more or less immediately, NRL head office being the leaky sieve that it is.

I agree that gaming can/will take over kids participation numbers but it isn't much of a spectator thing so I cant see it swallowing the whole sports world in terms of TV etc. People mostly grow out of gaming right (not everyone but most people).
