I think everyone agrees with the draw out of the hat theory , but its not and everyone knew that before the start of this years cup.
So stop the whining about byes and who is playing who because at the end of the day northern can only have 2 represtented teams in the final 32. This year the draw allows 3 npl teams insead of 2 compete in the northern nsw quater stages at speers point.
We dont have the luxury like england to have an draw out of the hat option.
