Senior List
My understanding is that the cerberus reserves from the last few years are mainly made up of blokes who have rugby/soccer back grounds and have never played football before. This they believe is leading to alot of injuries especially knock outs as they aren't used to be hit from any angle. So the reasoning is that the thirds is a weaker comp, thus being a bit easier for these blokes to get used to football. As i said this is just second hand info from a reliable source.
I think what Tigris was getting at, is that he realises that's their reasoning for putting the 2's into the thirds comp (with Cerebus thinking it's going to be much easier for them).
But I think the point he is trying to make, is that a fair few of the thirds teams (especially the teams created from Div 1 clubs) will be better than quite a few of the Div 3 reserves side.
But if they are entering their 2's into the thirds comp for other reasons, then so be it and good luck to them.
They're a good club to play against in terms of sportsmanship etc.
