Probably one of the best pieces I've read. Disagree with the reduction in crowds and kids playing but the rest is very poetic

interesting read. i agree how can a man living in melbourne comment on participation? out of interest are participation figures in Oz up or down compared to say ten years ago?

also arent crowds higher now than in any previous decade?

RL crowds are up big time.

we set a record of 16,200 in 2005 or 2006 and have been within 400 of that every year since.

participation numbers are through the roof.

unlike AFL or union which lie or exaggerate, we only count proper juniors with an acitve RL involvement.

as an example, a club like penrith has 8000 juniors and the number of teams in their area is growing strongly every year.

The Under 20 competition produces great players every year and has outrated Super 14 games on TV.

theres not much too complain about with RL in Oz except perhaps a couple of sydney clubs that could be moved into expansion markets.

yeah but that doesnt fit into the tone of the piece, which wants to be nolstagic about a lost world. pain in the booty when that world refuses to disappear and in fact flourishes. people with nice neat views of the world hate it when that happens.
