How are the ARU supposed to know the other codes figures if they aren't publicly available?

I can't see the AFL or NRL giving that info to a direct competitor.

Well,if they are not benchmarking they are either not serious or incompetent.
every code publishes their participation figures.
Only problem is that they are all inflated.

I wouldn't expect them to release competitors figures,but I would have assumed they would point out where you could obtain them,it's not that hard

Yes got nothing though, and that dissapointed me.

I havent tested how much info, and at what levels can be pulled from;

http://rugbyunion.resultsvault.com/common/pages/public/home.aspx?entityid=53029

But gee every NSW registered player (mini's to grade) appears there and it is in a public domain - top right hand corner, player name and search.

I spent the time explaining, what, why, target - plans.
The process also requires a phone number so they could have always called.

It's a weird thing to expect them to provide to you, just based on an email.

Other codes publish raw numbers but is it broken down by age, area etc? Imagine that's what Dave was looking for.

Yeah it is, spot on.
I didn't provide a one liner asking the question.
I provided a summary of the reason and provided contact details.
The reason was along the lines of the last couple of pages - growing the number of kids playing, something i believe the ARU has a vested interest in.
If in doubt call.

I've weighed into the issue on the front page in a bit more detail.

Very well done.

Interesting to see the flak it's copped on Facebook....... all from people who either play for or are administrators of Shute Shield clubs.

The same false statements justifying their view.

I dont often dive into facebook and cant say I enjoyed that experience. Responses are predictable but disappointing. It gives an idea of just how much the ARU has to deal with.

I think Dave would be familiar with the surname Bergelin which is popping up a fair bit in the comments.

Bernie Bergelin!!!!!! One of the great club rugby characters.

I was more referring to Harry (if memory serves, Marlins player) and what I can only assume are relatives.

Cracking article, Barbarian. Pretty much agree with the thrust of it.

I think it's amusing that their choice of social media is Facebook. Apart from my ageing relatives, is anyone still using it?

What else would their choice of social media be?

It's hardly a forum for snapchat..........

Aus Rugby needs it's own SocMed, maybe Arsebook, Twatter or Blunder.
