Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3213513, member: 1899"] It may even incentivise experienced players to sign with an affiliate and give back to the game so to speak, knowing they can receive a call-up. I'm not sure how it will play out if the NRL decides to bring back a national U/21s and Reserve Grade but it wouldn't hurt the QCup competition to have a player of Cam Smith's calibre lining up. I'd imagine the players would love the opportunity to play alongside or against him and it would receive some media coverage. Whatever benefit an NRL team would receive is minimal and it could keep these players involved longer and help ease their transitions into retirement. If they're still good enough like Benji to chase an NRL contract, more power to them but to have that option available could only strengthen the game. [/QUOTE]
