It's a two edged sword really. Obviously we see East Coast and Uni struggling in PD, but if their two's were in Div 1, they would probably dominate given the flow of players they attract in the hope of playing NEAFL.

I think the Sydney clubs are on a 2 year licence which expires at the end of the year so things might change.
I like what you're saying SHH, except that SydUni isn't struggling in PD....they're on top undefeated. Could well be three from three after this weekend.
I watched their NEAFL team last weekend and they weren't too good. But they were missing some of the gun players - no idea why.

SydUni is a bit early to call yet I reckon.
