So I have been thinking about how to do this as it has to be done and I have come up with a simple way to get this done every round. Obviously a big problem in the first 2 seasons was that people who don't get a run lose interest because they don't see their players play. So to counter this, every round after the main competition games are simmed, the Reserve Grade team which consists of a combination of players from all clubs who have not gotten a run for that round, will take on a team of random players that I will create. Obviously this will help captains see how their other players are going and help those players push for a first grade spot.
Well usually the 18th man would play in the reserve grade team. However, since it is Hunter, I can always make an exception. Yeah we will get a vote going sometime soon for a name for it. Well that would be up to the captains, but now they get a good indication of who to bring on in case of injuries or poor performances and you can now push your way into the top grade.
