All this said I also understand the problems facing the leagues who just want to see their best play, but I just cant agree with a penalty system. Why not give them incentives to play instead. Jumpers now cost very little to have made, give the set away every year etc.

Maybe not every year, but certainly after a win!
The young bloke from Mallala should front he tribunal and explain and they will excuse him, and players should always want to represent the Assoc they play in, and anyone that doesn't want to because a) they don't get paid! B) are a bit sore and don't want to get injured, although they would play if their club did, or C) couldn't be bothered and want to have a week off are to put it simply, are weak hearted mice. Representing the league/state is an honour and some of the best games i've ever played or watched were these games, it's a great privelidge and i can't encourage anyone any more to get amongst it.
