+x+x+x+x+x+x+x all the loser gets is a spoon Do they get draft pics like the AFL? Thats something to aim for :P No drafts in RL. It was ruled a restraint of trade in the courts in about 1990. Interesting... So how do players get picked up by clubs? Are they signed from lower tiers and overseas like football or from club academies? Genuine question btw. Most players are scouted from country RL & Junior leagues. Every Sydney club has a geographical area that the junior clubs play in.Not many academies if any. Overseas is only NZ or England, sometimes PNG.  So "junior clubs" is like the American baseball feeder system model or can players from Sutherland Shark's junior clubs be signed up by the Roosters for example? Anyone can be signed by anyone. In bygone days, you could only play for clubs that your registered address was in. That changed to a 13 import rule, meaning if you never played in the South Sydney junior league, you would be classed as an import if you played for South Sydney. It is predominantly a 5 state sport. ( NSW,QLD,NZ, Yorkshire & Lancashire ) Thx. Despite Storm's success its pretty much invisible down here...

for MSC bigger NSW NRL picture and no I do not care about the much at all but minor interest of their big games now and then..... Qld would be even bigger imo. Rugby league in New South Wales is the most popular spectator sport in the state, with the attendance and television audiences exceeding that of the various other codes of football. There are over 400,000 active rugby league participants, with a further 1 million playing the sport in schools, placing the sport second only to soccer for the most played sport in the state. There are more than 500 active clubs, ten of which are professional teams competing in the National Rugby League (NRL). Rugby league, along with touch football variant is played in most secondary schools throughout the state as well as at junior and club levels. The premier state-level league is the New South Wales Cup, involving reserve teams for New South Wales sides in the NRL.... Christ I didn't know they had this many leagues below : NRL Victoria Competitions Involving NSW TeamsI see drafts like the yanky games - all bubble and squeak - afl followed. Free market is the go no diff to our beloved Football.
Love Football

(not my view, I have no idea or opinion, just telling you what gets spoken about down here)...

Crowds are going through the roof ,like never before. The NZ sold out every match, despite being shite. Never done before in Australian rugby league history. ( 26,000 per game ).

Obviously the media down hare has a massive chip on their shoulder about AFL being the greatest thing in the world, but 26,000 per game would be considered extremely poor attendance. Isn't NZ usually really good at Rugby though? Anyway, not so much about attendance figures but we hear that there arent many juniors playing the sport, so when LFC showed a 400,00 active participants level I was surprised.... The media angle down here is "mum's in Sydney dont want their kids playing rugby because they fear concussion" ... or at least that is what is frequently implied...

The Melbourne media are as anti any other football sport as you can find. NZ are very good at Rugby Union and decent at Rugby league, two different games. The 26,000 per game, was every ticket sold. In a town the size of Auckland, it is considered very good. RE: the kids, the dads must have some amount of pull in Sydney.

+xThere will never be promotion and relegation in Australia. There will never be promotion and relegation to/from the Aleague .... The 99% of football clubs in the country already have it mate.
