The best idea would've been for Northern to follow their own rules and use PPG for Phase 1, even more so considering the additional 3 weeks and matches played saw no change as to which clubs were in which division.
The the full 14 round Phase 2 could've been played and these games that weren't played in the past 2-3 weeks could've all been caught up mid week in this dry September.
It's poor that some clubs are wholesale refusing to play these games, while not ideal at least a bit of a match and kick around for the kids, actually enjoy it without worry for any wins or points or trying to make finals. Though I can understand why some North Coast and NIAS teams refused to travel a long distance for a nothing game.
