Agreed it is got good that clubs do nothing and keep getting beaten. But it is a hard cycle to get out of as recruitment becomes as issue. Is also a long term thing to turn around, almost takes a whole development cycle (JDL through to 16's) if doing a good and consistent job.
I am not sure NNSW can sustain NPL and NL1 in youth, maybe just not enough kids/talent to make up 24 teams.
