Would a racial quota system, similar to S.Africa, work in the NRL?

Hey,

I was recently watching the ZIM vs Bangladesh game on tv in a pub where Charles Coventry thumped a world record 194* against BAN, and then i remembered that S.Africa beat the aussies in the cricket last year and i realised that both of these countries had racial quotas in their selection policy to curb the selection of white people from their team.

Both teams on field performance have proven to be MUCH more multicural since this time.

Got me thinking, could we implement a similar policy in the NRL?

The good news is that in a few years time you wouldnt notice this at all as natural selection will show through.
I propose all first grade squads be 50% coloured (by the same definition as S.A i.e Scott prince counts inside the quota) by the 2012 season.


The ultimate benefit is this:

When i walk around my friends (who are black indian like me) and my korean friends i see ALOT of natural athletes that could be utilised by the NRL...but sadly their natural ability is going to waste.

The quota may be the subtle push that is needed to get these Indians and Chinese into Rugby league. Whilst they will not dominate the NRL they will molst certainly have a significant place in the league-much akin to aboriginies.

This is the opportunity that is needed.....otherwise i fear we could lose these talents to the AFL.

Could there be anything worse then a racial quota, to play league you just need to be good enough, the colour of your eyes dont come into it!

Dude dude this has to be a gee up! Your mates must all be on human growth hormones and roids LOL.

I think its a great idea, more chance of getting a nice Vindaloo at one of the grounds to help keep you warm on a cold Saturday night. The commentry would be more interesting too. Your on a winner my Curry munching friend, ring the NRL & get it sorted. I love black merkins, they are full of such good ideas.

In a word, no.
In two words, f**k no.
In more of a structured set of setences:

No, to play in the NRL you are selected because you are a truly exceptional athlete with at least some promise (obviously this is open to opinion, as I am sure some people would wonder looking at some players blooded over the years and think "WTF is he doing out there").
To place people outside of this criteria and just give them a walk up start because they are of a "minority" race (can't really call it that though, there is a few billion of them, must get lonely) devalues the competition, which is supposed to be played between the best footballers in the world who want to participate- whether they be black, white, yellow or f**king purple, race does not enter into it.
Look at Newcastle, they have a mixed bag as far as race goes in their team, most teams have diverse rosters, we don't need to try and entice one particular race in, even with the thinking "oh it will get the large indian market intersted", I still don't see the point.

 

[TheDalek079]

I thought the reason why there were no Indian players in the NRL is because their parents try and push them into much more rewarding careers like working in call centres or at service stations and 7/11s.

Well played sir!

Exactly!!

A quota will expand the market into india (who are crying out for contact sports) and this in tern will lift the nrl playing stadards as well as pump corporate support (think 20/20).

I think I have a solution. The 'dogg wants more Indian players in the NRL, but they mostly too small and he just can't get his hands on that unlimited budget to track down all the athletic blokes. But, the 'dogg is also aware that African Americans are predisposed to be great athletes. The answer is obvious. We must recruit American Indians.

NO

That is not the context in which the comment was made, I am stating that it should not be a reason to hand out dispensations / free rides into the NRL / feeder clubs.

This is the best rugby league competition in the world, and by virtue one of the few remaining gladitorial contests in the world,
Something like this would de-value it, its like allowing para-lympians to compete in the regular Olympics, as much of a sentiment as it may be, it detracts from the competition itself where it is thought that to win an Olympic medal you have to beat the best in the world, ditto the NRL, you want the ring, you have to beat the best players in the world.

You can tell its off season when a thread like this is getting plenty of replies. Stupidest thing i have heard in a long long time, a racial quota, really? Do you not realise why South Africa actually brought in a racial quota? Look up some history lessons.
