It’s because it is easy to pay two games of cricket in a week. Most contracted players in every state but NSW are private school boys. Probably why historically NSW is the strongest state in the game

60% of AFL players are private school boys. Obviously academic scholarships skew those numbers. Cricket in every state but NSW is heavily reliant on private schools

If private schools are self sufficient even more of a reason to put money into different pathways.

Because the game will only go backwards if we narrow our focus to private schools. That approach may have worked in 1990 but not now

Cool what has that got to do with anything? The majority of kids don’t go to private schools. You are much better putting money into something like the Rebels shield than you are just going back to private schools

Rugby won’t be back in 10-15 years as the game will be dead here in 10-15 years if you cut the rebels. Secondly E-sports gets people involved with supporting the game. The NFL grows via Madden, the NBA via 2k and soccer via FIFA

Lol the laughing reaction wasn’t enough. Your grand solution is to focus on private school rugby ins Sydney and Brisbane. Laughable

100% a Red where is the mitigation? Absolute dog shot. Not sure he would be willing to stand toe to toe and swing one. Was pathetic we talk about player wellfare and protecting the head and we let that go

100% massive sense of entitlement from those north of the border. It’s embarrassing really

100%, it will overtake rugby soon as a participation sport but less people play league here than soccer or union yet the Storm get the crowds

That was disgusting should have been a straight red it was an act of cowardice

Victorian first and foremost. Growing up I always wanted a side in super rugby, we got one I supported it for its whole journey and if they take it away then I am done with the wallabies

Well if Melbourne had a team again I would come back to the game. Until then nothing, I have no interest in a national team that actively excludes my state

I’ll be done with rugby too. It’s sad

Cherry pick all the Vic talent but punt the Rebels typical. If I were in their shoes as a Victorian I’d go overseas and turn my back on the Wallabies

When was the last time 120k went to an origin game?
