Restricted football is an important part of our game. Auckland is the only District in New Zealand that offers this playing opportunity. One of the key focus areas of the Auckland Rugby League this year has been to review current restricted football grades and weights benchmarking against other similar sports codes. As a result the Review sub-committee has formulated some recommendations and is now seeking feedback from clubs, members, players and interested stakeholders. It is your opportunity to submit feedback or make alternative recommendations.

Submissions close on Friday 24 August.
