[QUOTE="Dragon Fanatic, post: 2192"] Hang on. An NRL club is a club that represents the district. You two have NO idea because you don't live in Sydney. You play for your local suburban club i.e. Renown United in the St George district. You play up until you are 16 then you can trial for the Harold Matthews rep side who play against other districts such as South Sydney, Norths, Easts etc... After that you go back to your suburban club and then trial when you are 18 for the SG Ball competition which is the same format as the Harold Matts comp. After this you go back to your club once again and then you trial for Jersey Flegg which is an U21's side consisting of 26 rounds and runs as a Third grade type thing. After this you are either graded with another NRL club or you are graded for your own district to play in the Premier League. If you are seen as a prospect and good enough you are placed in the elite 25 man squad of highest paid players and when the opportunity comes your way you are given a run on in First grade. Thats how it works in Sydney. It works similarly in QLD but the QLD cup acting as a premier league and the Storm also have a QLD cup feeder side. The Warriors are the exception and use the Bartercard Cup as their premier League. Now you talk of "franchises" being created. The Central Coast compete in the Harold Matts, SG Ball and the Jersey Flegg under the Central Coast Rips. They are vying for a spot in the NRL to be eligible for first grade, same thing with the Gold Coast they have a huge competiton up there and are in the same predicament as the Central Coast.
