100% agree with this.
Other teams that will compete for the title have had months to recruit / prepare.
But - all in all - these teams would've probably been the ones to make the step up in 2013 anyway...this will be a good year to help them prepare.
In a normal world / league, Knights would've been promoted by finishing 2nd last year anyway, and Toros would've probably pushed for promotion this year. Flinders are a good catchment club for those that would've left South Adelaide and didn't make the Cumby set up.
We now have representation well spread geographically, would've thought this a good thing:
Metro: Adelaide City, Uni
East: Metro, Knights
South: Cumby, Flinders, Sturt
West: Fulham, Toros
