Message: [QUOTE="Mustafur, post: 3329196, member: 10189"] Having done my Schooling and playing in both states I would say NSW system is much more backward. Next to no Schools play RL, and the clubs that do struggle for numbers big time. I played for Kellyville Bushrangers in the Parra Comp as a teen at the time we where one of the best in the competition in our division but we could only play with numbers from younger players who would play after our game and then a few of us would do the older ages game as well. Considering we where one of the better sides you can just imagine how it was for other teams. When I was at school plenty wanted to play RL but would rather it be at school during the week rather then weekends where they can play other sports they already do, and the only School in my entire area that I knew played it and was known for it was Patrician bros in Blacktown, which is a private school as well but probably the best RL school in NSW. This is a NRL problem, no way around it, they have the money and the pathways are clogged. If you want to grow the game you want to bring the game to the kids not make them find you, unless this is fixed the game is going to have massive issues for the future. Even if alot of parents have issues with the physical nature, imo with how the game is these days you would want them playing touch untill they hit puberty anyway as ball skills are significantly more important then anything learned in defence.
