Message: [QUOTE="papabear, post: 3329719, member: 8480"] I agree that the game isnt pushed in sydney schools anywhere near enough. I am not saying NSW does it better, I am saying this is how it is done here, and the current system has benefits for the broncos (and raiders) that an AFL system would remove. If the NRL run the juniors everywhere you:- - Lose leagues club money. - Lose access to those juniors through your junior comp systems harold matts etc. I actually agree, for the good of rugby league, the NRL should start pushing more and more to take over juniors and run more touch programs - in my area in sydney there is one going down soon which has a lot of union teams run their kids as well.. The NRL should be pushing for more and more programs in schools and running it in conjunction with the clubs. However, if the NRL took over the clubs (if thats even possible) you then have to go down the path of a draft which does not help the broncos at all (unless you are gunning for a sam hinkie process situation right now, before a draft has even kicked off). If anything the broncos / titans / redcliffe should be pumping players / money / resources to be setting up touch footy comps in all the schools in ipswich / west of brisbane space for their own brand recognition.... Don't get me wrong, so should the NRL, but as far as I can see, local people running local leagues, tend to a better job then the guys paid to do it at the NRL. [/QUOTE]
