What percentage of the NRL's Billion dollar deal should be given directly to Junior league ?
Anyone who is well schooled in Rugby League fully understands that NRL is nothing without quality players, so where do these players come from, AFL, Soccer, Rugby, Athletics, or maybe Field Hockey, no these players are developed by junior Rugby League clubs run by hard working volunteers, Junior League is finding it very difficult to "hold on" and numbers are declining. If quality players are to be produced in the future, a good chunk of the NRL's Billions must be directed and distributed to Junior Rugby League, without JRL there would be NO NRL.
EDIT: You are 100% correct in what you say Bill, and it is only thru the hard work of the volunteers and supporters of Junior and Group Rugby League that we have players to marvel at in the NRL. I am sure some fans think the likes of Slater, Inglis Stewart and Co just appeared out of nowhere and fail to understand the importance of "fully" funding Junior, and Country Group Rugby League , or are the QLDRL and NSWRL expected to support and develop the NRL stars of the future.

I agree but you shouldn't stop there. Grants also need to be developed for both NSW and Qld rugby leagues. Like juniors, volunteers in country areas are what keeps the game alive. Look at Group 20, West Wyalong to Hay. Who pays for the transport for both juniors and seniors, the players and families do. With luck a club sponsor may put on a bus. Monies are also needed for the development of the game in the others states. What probably will happen is that the new monies will be divvied up between the clubs and then used for their own NRL players.
You mention the other codes. My son was playing junior rugby with Kiama a few years ago, they got group tickets to go to the SFS to watch the Super Rugby plus they had internationals turn up to their training. Nothing like that with the Dragons, no freebies for the big games and we had to bus the kids to WIN Stadium for training sessions with the Dragons and Steelers before them. The league has already fallen behind the other codes with their treatment of juniors.
