@taipan185 I think you must have misread my post. I dont expect it to be at a high level there at all because in reality there wont be much support there for it. However it does exist just enough for other people who dont play to play those other sports to play something else. Its the same here not everyone wants to play football, basketball or baseball and some play others that may not be as supported like soccer and rugby. Im just happy for this kid, hes a real talent.

@91gt306 We have AFL, NRL, NSL and the ARU all played at the highest level we don't need nor have room for a fith type of pro football. Not even the USA has as many types of football competing for the fans attention and money.

[91gt306]

@tomucaat Yes you're right it isnt big there, however alot of people simply think it doesnt exist there at all and believe its not played anywhere else but america. But im glad you enjoy the sport. Good luck in your upcoming season.
