When the quality of NSW players entering the AFL is enough to populate the 2 AFL teams. (Give or take a few playing elsewhere, and few non-nsw playing for us), then we will be self sufficient and untouchable.
The NEAFL is a vehicle for that. If its not strong enough, make it stronger.
Bolstering the VFL with our reserves players does nothing for NSW footy.
