Not really sure that anyone could say Cooks Hill or New Lambton are stronger than they were last year...I think both are much poorer.

Belswans is also a hard case to make. Last year they rompt in tier II before the split, and very nearly made it into tier I (missing out just on the last day)

Pro/Rel is good, makes it very interesting, but it really should be for an entire season.

Three tiers of 8, play each other 3 times...pro/rel at the end of the year (preferably by team, not club championship)...this would be the ideal model
