I would love to see a proper second grade with all players making a minimum of like 80k or something. That is enough to live off of it, and the ones who deserve it will get big pay increases to go to first grade. Surely the NRL can afford something like this.One hundred percent. I actually agreed with Joey saying we needed to downscale the teams as there isn't enough quality players to have competitive competition.
Only other way is to bring back an actual full time reserve grade and pay them enough to live off. Stronger that is, stronger first grade would be. It's too hard for players to be a chippy all week and train and play as well.
