The most disgraceful thing to happen in RL in a long time

[Kingbilly]

Penrith have brough in a new rule that prevents there being any division in the U16s up apart from first division in their junior league.

This means the U16 div2, U17 Div2 etc are all being ditched, effecting telling 100s of kids you are not allowed to play RL anymore.

Frankly it typifies the attitude of many of the arsewips that sit in their little ivory toweres all over the city. Why should kids be prevented from playing RL just because they are not and "elite" player. The game is run for two types of kids, the "elite" players and sons of administrators. Its a ****ing joke

I wonder how much Gould has had to do with this, if nothing then he must jump in and prevent it from happening

Thats a shocker mate. Its hard in our area to keep them interested at that age. Do they not realise how lucky they are.To have hundreds of players told they can't play is crazy. We have plenty of spots available over here in North Sydney and Manly. We battle every year with that age group. I think we only had six teams in both the 16's and 17's this year.

link to article?

if true, that is crazy crazy management of the game

[Kingbilly]

No article I have seen, just heard from people in the Penrith area, although someone else has mentioned it over at rleague.com

GayFL and football(soccer) will be the big winners if this is true.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Farking dumb!

I can see the new Rugby League ad

Rugby League,
If you aren't really good at it
then piss off and play something else

An independant commission running the game would stop this shit from happening...pity we don't have one.

Chook.

Happening under Goulds watch

Actually looking at the Penrith roster they are weaker now under Gould than previous

Chook,
an independant commission could not give a flying **** about junior football, except the elite.
Thats just the way rugby league is.
