Why do we ignore Touch?

It's not where it matters if we go against RU. How does the average potiental player know that the touch they signed up to in RU or RL? Sure you could check online but we can't make it too hard.

Yeah oztag is huge where I play Luke Walsh, Fifita brothers, Lachlan Coote, Cliff Lyons, Lee Hopkins all play in the summer to keep fit as do most a graders in the district. Basically the tags are just velcro, unlimited interchange, league rules, 8 a side, 1/2 league field.

Quite Easily. There are a number of ways. Off the top of my head here is a few:
1. The team might be called the Loafers Rugby league team or whatever.
2. The competition/sport might be called the Touch rugby league competition.
3. An official might say you are playing Touch rugby league lets stick to the rules and have a good clean game..
4. The players might say do you want to watch me play a game of tackle rugby league on the weekend.
5. A coach might say we are a bit short on the weekend, anyone up for a game of tackle rugby league this week.
6. Any players who already play tackle rugby league might actually recognise the similarities without even being told!
7. A player taking the dog for a walk one day might see a game of tackle rugby league and think wow that was a bit of an aggressive touch!
The possibilities are endless as to how they would know. I dont see how or why it really matters though. As long as some of them are playing tackle rugby league or watching the game, it has to be a good thing doesnt it?
