Supposed to be straight after the NPL GF but apparently NPL clubs submitted a proposal to bring back an Open Reserve Grade so NNSW have apparently pushed the decision back. I just hope they make the decision ASAP as it will have a huge impact on NEWFM clubs hoping to go up. Any delay provides existing NPL clubs with a huge advantage to secure players as they can pretty much guarantee they'll be there next year. Potentially huge impact on Cookers if they do away with a Second Division we've then got 100 players to squeeze into 1 Zone team not to mention all the talented juniors in the 17's & 19's teams.
