10 out of the 17 players who ran out today played reserve grade at some point this year and those 6 that didn't (Jackson, Meaney, Averillo, Hoppa, JMK, Hetherington) would be playing reserve grade if they were playing for some other team)
Only Luke Thompson would be a certainty to get a run in FG.
NRL is multi million dollar industry but how can they send out a reserve grade team like that in this day and age? You won't see that in any other code.
What has happened to all the talent? Are they taking up other sports? Is it because it has traditionally been a Anglo Saxon Blue collar sport who have now moved up classes and probably get their kids to take up other sports associated with those classes, which has lowered participation numbers ? Anyone with a theory?
