I understand this year is a record for Junior registrations for the BRL at least. Funny thing is, in my opinion, you see a lot more foul play in juniors than the NRL ever had - and a lot of it goes without punishment.
Can concur, many kids don't even follow the Broncs at Juniors (well, not at my clubs anyways). Hell, one of my own kids doesn't even follow them (fortunately for him he's turned out alright so happily claim him) - my other son has been ridiculed for following the Broncos by some of his team...
