Quote: Rooster Booster "Hold on a mo JB. The clubs never got rid of reserve grade. The reason they cut costs is because of the over hyped U20s comp. Clubs now realise that it ain't that good and are wanting to move it to a wednesday night so their not top 18 that week squad players can play against the grown ups. Which is why people like George Burgess plays NSW Cup and not U20s, same with a few others.
Out of interest, do you know who pays for WA to play in S G Ball when they travel?'"
My memory was that the clubs voted to get rid of reserve grade due to costs. Their is nothing stopping them having one now but most partner with rich league clubs to help with costs.
Re Reds SG Ball it's pair for partly by Arlc and partly by sponsorship (mostly cash convertors)
