Here To Do

This is why having these alignments would help, however you could also see how this would disadvantage certain clubs too. Imagine playing Chatswood with Gordon discards but having few discards yourself from say Two Blues or Wests.Anecdotally, I'm told Gordon has been turning Colts away this year, having filled the 3 requisite teams and more than extensive benches for each. The worry the club has is that they will lose these guys from the game all together, not to Subbies.
It's baffling to me that they don't link up with certain local subbies clubs like Chatswood, St Ives etc, let them call themselves the Chatswood-Gordon Highlanders and see if they can keep a core group of them playing together so the game doesn't lose them. Could have them still train with Gordon, promotion/relegation between the teams/clubs so they still feel attached to the club they went to etc
I don't see how that doesn't so easily kill two birds with one stone.
Bigger concern for Subbies would be ensuring integrity with "semi-pro" players (i.e. SRU) coming in to the fully-amateur union. Shouldn't be an issue in reality but in theory it does raises concerns.
