Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3376351, member: 9372"] Having a reserve grade comp is an excellent idea. Sure, there are some logistical challenges etc but it's something the NRL should absolutely have. I'm sure alot of fans would get on board with watching a Broncos-branded reserve grade side before the main game each week, where they could watch young players developing before they step up to first grade. NRL is trying hard to garner interest in the NRLW in the same way, but its appeal is extremely limited to most fans. It would also be the perfect platform for V'Landys and co. to test and research the impact / effectiveness of rule changes and new technology (eg: Forward pass tech) before it reaches the top pro level. That's not even mentioning the benefit of engaging and involving the history and fans of clubs like Newtown and North Sydney, as well as providing pathways for clubs in other locations.... a PNG reserve grade team, a second NZ reserve grade team, Adelaide? Perth? Combine this club-linked reserve grade comp with a Free Agent transfer window and a proper trade system and it would make a huge difference to the competition. [/QUOTE]
