Thanks but I believe you missed the whole point of that statement. Rewarding teams based on their on field performance. Its obviously not going to happen anytime soon , so lower divisions will always have teams that dominate the competition year after year and aren't promoted to be tested at higher grades. Just about every other football code in the world works on this system , and I think I read the other day that even the A - League is working on moving towards a similar structure.
