Why don't the NRL put resources into Victoria

I want to say from the start this is NOT a knock on the staff at NRL Victoria they have been fantastic in my dealings with them but I believe they have 9 staff members where as AFL NSW/ACT have 270. Why?

I have no idea how many either have although your nrl vic numbers might be close. I’m not sure we’d want to follow the afls approach by the way. They are throwing money around like confetti for minimal gain.
I was talking to a mate of mine whose grandson played union in Melbourne this year. With the death of the rebels he’s off to league with many of his mates. He’s an under 17. We will see growth there regardless.
