What is Elite Rugby League Pathways (ERLP)

We have received a number of enquiries about a private enterprise, operated by Mark Andrews, providing Rugby League-specific gym and field sessions to introduce its athletes to training and behaving like professionals. Neither the St George Illawarra Dragons nor the Illawarra Steelers run this program. Joining ERLP does not guarantee selection in any Junior Rep programs.
