I like your different thinking, but rewarding mediocrity never works.Thinking outside the box , not even sure if possible.
I don’t believe a ‘merge ‘ would work, I’m guessing most of the guys in both clubs Ressies are the ‘call up’ Thursday evening ‘can you play?’ tight of blokes ( doing it for the club) , so I’d say you’ll lose most of these guys in a merge.
Once merged , at least 1 of the clubs (whichever their not based at) is gone forever.
I’m guessing both clubs are filled with ‘club men’ so you lose those people too.
What about if the NFL sponsor the bottom 2 clubs in div.3 , say $20-$25,000.
A bit of a tax right off for the league , a real chop out to those 2 bottom sides.
Now this can be invested in whatever way the club decides , but must be spent.
An example would be , the ability to bring in 4-5 good footballers on avg $300 a game ( up to club then to create culture to keep these players) or $ could be used to invest in juniors / U19s etc etc
I know it sounds ‘unfair’ to all the other clubs but if ongoing , who knows which clubs will need the $ injection going fwd.
Just a thought , as I’m sure there’s a bit of $ relief to new clubs coming into league , maybe better to invest in the clubs you already have..
Also, other clubs, ie. West, who struggled for years and have pulled themselves up without help, would probably consider this a severe slap in the face.
These clubs have put themselves in this position, especially Ressa, certainly don't deserve to be rewarded.
