$50 Million reason Wests Tigers are prepared to quit Campbelltown.

2025 Sydney junior rugby league

Hi folks. I’ve been travelling Europe the last few months but I’m back very soon and ready to post some exciting 2025 Sydney Junior rugby league data (and more). Brief summary is that there has been a further increase in team numbers. Canterbury has seen a significant increase in particular. I’m...

Some interesting junior league numbers here...very surprised to see Gymea as the largest junior club in syd and 4 cronulla clubs featuring in the top 10...with penrith clubs the other 6.
Bulldogs junior numbers grown dramatically...group 6 slight increase but wests and balmain no growth

Minto/Glenfield/Macq Fields have very large population of Indians/Nepalese/Bengali and Chinese
but it does not stop West Tigers from doing weekly promotions,running Training clinics, do a weekly spot on C91.3??

Right. So the plan is to hinge our junior and fan "growth" on these communities. Well...all I'll say is good luck and I hope it works out.

Can't wait to see the first Indian/Nepali/Bengali junior come through our system.

At the end of the day, the debate doesn’t matter anymore. The club is doing what it should have done years ago, and no amount of complaining will change it. There’s always going to detractors no matter they do.

Who’s complaining ? Geez you’re a dickhead sometimes … voicing concerns about the actual viability of a plan that’s failed for 50 years , for many reasons , is not “complaining” . It’s pragmatism . No amount of spinning shit to suit your agenda will change it .
I hate arguing with people like you because you’re deliberately obtuse . And dismiss context to suit your agenda . It’s so tiresome … and transparent

Lilyfield is a natural amphitheatre of sorts with the grandstand, hill, the properties at the south-south-eastern end, and even the fig trees at the northern end, assisting to enclose the arena. The ground is built into the topography nestled between Glover st at the top, and Mary St below. The grandstand is also above the field (you need to walk up stairs from the field to the dressing room).

Leumeah is totally opposite to that. For the most part, it's a flat piece of land with a couple of grand stands built on top of it. In winter, it's the coldest place on earth. It's a wind tunnel right through it.

Exactly bro . I’m glad they’re building stands at both ends . Hopefully they connect the roofs to enclose it and make it cauldron like . The cold is unbearable especially as the sun goes down on a Winters afternoon at say 5-6pm.
We don’t need both stadiums to be mirror images of each other . I think a more enclosed , more modern feeling stadium , will be far more enticing to the south west .

So you’ve chosen to argue that no one is complaining by complaining? 🤨

No you hinge your growth on been a marketable commodity who gets in communities and a promotes its brand gets involved in the community. There are areas in Campbelltown/Group 6
that have large population of rugby league players and supporters. It just needs to be managed better.

That’s a stupid argument. Cabramatta is well known for its large Vietnamese community yet is also one of the strongest clubs in the Parra junior league.

I mean there’s no real use continuing this as your fixed in your loyalty to the Balmain patch - but look at the juniors who’ve progressed to the NRL during recent times from each area.

And given the skyrocketing property prices in the inner west, what will the demographic look like in a decade. I’m thinking Newington & Trinity won’t be short of silver spoon local lads for their respective 1st XVs (to go with the scholarship boys they yank out of the south-west 🤣)

That’s it. It’s not just about juniors, it’s pushing our brand. Making new fans, members etc. Ignoring an area the size of it has been negligent for far too long.

Mate, you need to have a look at why Australia is growing. It ain't because the local population are having babies.

Market to them as much as you like.

Yeah but they're all Indians. Apparently we don't want their kind.

No...it's that they won't support us. Rugby League is not a game they watch in high numbers. Why make it a race thing?

What is it with Australians thinking that other cultures are just going to come here and totally adopt our customs and traditions? Really it's naive.
