I like the idea of integrating the Eastern States into one competition in principal rather than having NSW & Queensland with a couple of exceptional teams only and basically no decent competition as preparation for call-up to the Seniors. I agree that not having each team play each other once is an issue but no different to the AFL where there are 18 teams and you play 17 once and 5 twice. Any comp where you don't play each opponent twice, home & away, is going to be unequal Of course in the AFL they use that to try to equal up the competition.
