you all don't get it, no matter what criteria you meet, or whatever sap, tap or any programs you have Northern will do what they want.
They have for years and will continue to do so until they are given a shake up at the dump they call the centre of excellence.

Cookers should have went into the top grade with say 3 others, made it a 14 team comp with 1st, reserve, U19's and youth programs below that? it is 10 currently isn't it? that's how much attention I pay to it.
2HD comp should be abolished let Macquarie, newcastle and upper hunter run the zone or as they call it now, community comps.
Every say 5 years doors open to apply for the top grade, if you meet what they want or are not performing boom , up or down you go....
