If not Cooks Hill then who is?

It wasn't too long ago that people were saying Cooks Hill and New Lambton were better teams than Adamstown, Lakes, Azzurri, Valo, etc. Results are showing that the leap is not easy to take on a weekly basis.

I like the structure of the new competition. Personally I would stick with 8/8/8 or 8/8/6 as opposed to the 12/12 with a midseason split, but I think there is at least the opportunity there for a team that starts off in PYL2 to promote to PYLB mid season and then PYL1 if they can win PYLB club championship.
