yeah it definetly has its major flaws, by promoting certain club teams you run the risk of disenchanting supporters from other clubs.
But IMHO it is survival of the fittest, i think they promote the clubs based on there junior base, current and future revenue and how well the club is currently going.
the 3 QLD teams could be GPS from northside of the river, Sunnybank from the South and Gold Coast.
Obviously you are going to piss off the other 6 premiership sides that didnt get in, but for the future of the game it would have to be that way.
Undoubtedly this plan would never be given the go-ahead considering the amount of dead wood floating around the ARU, NSWRU and QRU.
