While I dont have knowledge on everyones situation,will it be that big a deal this year?Once the draw gets done for the 2nd half of the year the top 8 clubs will have all grades.The next 8 were only missing Cooks Hill 16s which obviously wont exist this year, and one NIAS team.The 3rd group of 8 may or may not field every age,but they may be able to use the fact their kids wont be getting pumped by 20 every week to encourage some kids to try that level and build something for the future.Of course if theres large chunks of kids leaving clubs in a set age group it will cause issues but clubs are out there trailing and getting organised so the top 16 clubs should have no reason to not be ready,and NNSW needs to just automatically relegate any club that cant field all teams into group 3 until they get sorted.
