There will be very few, if any Subies/Country players with the fitness levels of first grade shute players let alone NRC and Super.

I'm presuming this is a joke. For interest, Woylies haven't ever lived in NSW and now are confined to a small area in South WA. Mind you I've never seen a Tiger in Balmain or Knights in Newcastle.
I've had a couple of good nights in Newcastle.

Not so. The Woylie has lived in NSW: this from an official government website. If you have been around as long as I have, you never give up hope of the little blighters being seen again in this state.
Australian Distribution
Top
The Woylie is endemic to Australia and once occupied most of the Australian mainland, south of the tropics including the arid and semi-arid zones of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, South Australia, NSW and Victoria. By the 1970s, its distribution had been reduced to three locations in Western Australia: Perup forest, Tutanning Nature Reserve and Dryandra Woodland (DEC 2007; Van Dyck & Strahan 2008). Like many medium-sized terrestrial mammals formerly occurring in arid and semi-arid Australia, the species had retreated to the most mesic parts of its former range since European settlement (Burbidge & McKenzie 1989).

If they take 8 or 10 men from the country, will they be the top players? As a couple of the standouts from the Country team could not take the pay cut!!!!
Some of these guys are on massive coin in their chosen jobs. And as far as the colts boys go, there are more than 1 that couldn't make their respective schools 1st XV... Late bloomers?
Missing from the Cockatoos Colts squad?

How can you have a NSW Country side with players born, raised and only playing in a city in it. Not really a Country side
^^^^ Works for Pommie Soccer. Chelsea is owned by a Russian, and can trot out a team with no Soap Dodgers in it at all, including the coach. Man U could do similar.
I don't think rolling out a team that would get beat consistently by a cricket score each week is going to promote the game in the country. Fill the squad with guys from the country, play the games in the country to grow the game and bring the juniors through. Its a bit idealistic to think in todays day and age in a professional competition you are going to have an out and out country side competing against the rest. The most recent VC of the wallabies was born in NZ

IIRC both Lala Lam and Tala Grey played club rugby in Canberra before heading for the big smoke. Is that Country enough?

Lam is ACT raised (as is his brother who's had some success in NZ) and Tala is Victorian raised and was one of those very rare players who made Australian Schoolboys out of Victoria back in the day.
