I agree that this would have been the best option. Everyone keeps saying they would compete so put them in and let them. There reserves would also be strong enough to be competitive, have a 12 team comp and stay with a premier and challenge cup for the 18s and grade the rest of the sides in 3 divisions with promotion/relegation based on performance and i think it would be easier on the clubs that have to split and games would still be more even as you wouldnt have the Bats and Manly flogging the likes of Norwest,camden etc(Sorry Pekay)
