The Tip Sheet sits down this week with Adam Fairley, the General Manager of Parramatta Junior Rugby League. Sixties and Forty20 discuss the state of the Parramatta district as the recovery from the brutal COVID impacted years hits full stride.

Rising participation rates in general and the year on year growth in the female space are driving the district forwards but the trio discuss what more can be done. League adjacent programs like League Tag and touch footy and the introduction of a gala day at CommBank Stadium are just some of the programs helping engage Parramatta juniors.

The community spirit among clubs and the rise of positive social media also feature in the discussion. Fairley has worked heavily to spotlight the things that make junior rugby league so memorable - including games of the week and sensational tries scored across the competitions.
