12Auckland Rugby League Clubs:
Auckland Rugby League clubs are the backbone of the game of rugby league and
historically it was the clubs that nurtured and developed players in their formative
school years. Over the years this has evolved with school competitions and kiwi greats
such as Stacey Jones, Manu Vatuvei and current rising NRL stars such as Tuimoala
Lolohea, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, David Fusitua and Shaun Johnson all derived their skill
and passion for the game at club and school competition during this period of their
lives.
The CRL competition provides an opportunity to strengthen clubs and schools by
providing links between both. The prospect of a club/school association promises to
deliver a sharing of resources which can only benefit both the club and school
communities as a whole. The ARL will assist and co-ordinate where requested a range
of club-school links that build sustainable support and meet the targeted needs of all.
