Greenberg does have no idea found article today re squad of 30, as of next year you cannot select a player outside of the top 30 to play NRL, unless serious injury, so know blooding a young guy if shows form in lower grades, i grabbed this from fox sports, can the NRL make it worse.
TOP SQUAD CONTRACT FARCE
The NRL’s pathway program is flawed.
Under the NRL’s new rules, Nick Cotric, the hot favourite for Dally M rookie of the year, would never have made his first grade debut this season.
The likes of Anthony Milford or Nathan Cleary wouldn’t have popped on the scene either.
In 2018 NRL clubs have a squad of 30 players to pick from with six development players who are ineligible to play first grade.

The second tier as we know it is non-existent which means a crucial pathway to the top grade has been blocked.
As it stands, Cronulla young gun Kyle Flanagan will be unable to play first grade in 2018.
Flanagan isn’t in the club’s top 30 which means he would need an exception to play first grade.
Under the rules, the only way he can play NRL next year is if James Maloney or Chad Townsend suffers a serious injury.
It’s understood the RLPA aren’t happy with the new system which blocks the pathway of players.
