True, but it is not part time stuff aswell.
Each nsw cup team are feeders for a nrl team. From my recent chats with rooster, he knows (and take it from me he knows) and I know that the pool of talent there is breathtaking. Also all these players are one step away from an nrl start. With this in mind this is what makes the standard so high, the dream of making that next step.
Do not consider nsw cup a sub standard level. It definitely is not!!! The guys are as fit as there counterparts in the nrl, they go as hard as their nrl counterparts.
