For more than six decades now, registered clubs have played a vital role in the promotion of rugby league.
In 2016 alone, registered clubs contributed more than $56 million to the sport, supporting the grassroots of the game, all the way to the NRL.
That support has now been formally recognised with the signing of an agreement between NRL CEO Todd Greenberg and the ClubsNSW CEO Anthony Ball, committing the two organisations to work together on a range of initiatives, including education and community programs.
