[edit] 1997
Although the 1997 competition was played for the President's Cup, I distinctly recall that it was more often referred to as "Second Grade" by the ARL for that season - the reasoning for the change being correct in the article (about Super League taking the "Reserve Grade" name), while keeping the name similar to "Reserve Grade" - before changing again to the "NSW First Division" in the merged competition in 1998.
The only major thing I can find online supporting this is this news article on the Parramatta Eels' site asking for members of Parramatta's successful 1997 Second Grade team (among other years and grades). Someone with better access to ARL/NSWRL archives could probably be able confirm this better than I could. -Spiky Sharkie [ talk ] 13:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for that Sharkie. The competition may have been referred to as "Second Grade" but the competition was officially known as President's Cup so I don't think the article needs to be changed. - User:CumberlandsAshes81 12:48, 13 July 2006
