While each comp has it's pros and cons.
Someone brought up a valid point where are the likes of a Central Coast, Wagga, Northern Rivers, Canberra etc sides in the NSW cup
You can't just plonk teams of park footballers in and expect the comp to be credible. It has to be a reserve grade comp so you get first graders 18 - 25 playing there. Wests are without an affiliate NRL team and their stats show it. This is why the q cup argument baffles me. There are only three teams that can provide players 18 - 25 to that comp as opposed to the entire comp excluding Wests down here.
Regardless of who's seen what games, logic demands that the NSW cup has to be the stronger comp simply because of its higher level of alignment to the NRL.
