I think everyone realises we have to take a different path with the draw next year Folkus. Somehow it has to be done from the top down. We can’t have the bye-athon in
1st grade like we did this year (as your research showed). Of the 1st grade clubs only Aggies, City, Griffith & Waratahs can consistently provide 2nd grade teams. This impacts Reddies, Tumut & Albury capacity to win 1st grade games when players have to back up and play more than 1 game. I think all clubs need to consider a new way of doing things next season.
