I agree with every word of this.

My bugbear is more with the consistent reduction in playing time with no commensurate reduction in fees to NNSWF.

Northerns portion of the fees is greater than the full fees at some community clubs without the benefit of game leaders being provided or draws being issued with enough notice.

With an 18 game season you could go back play community level with finals and play the same amount of actual game time.
