Some of the NL1 clubs will have met the governance standards that are applied and some won't. Those that do are equal to those on the NPL.

It seems you are basing your assessment of who is worthy of being in the NPL on results only. Results can be achieved if you throw cash at it. The haves and have nots prove that every week in the NPL. Maybe the other NL1 clubs dont want to throw bucket loads of money at players when there is no guarantee that doing so will get them into NPL.
sounds like a scommo comment

who has splashed the cash to win.
i know Cooks Hill last year threw plenty, and finished 2nd and still got promoted.
so on that bases, you can finish anywhere and still get promoted.
