Been thinking a bit more about the issues with the current league size. It seems like the early season massive scorelines are now (somewhat) an aberration? 

Take last weekend:

The scorelines have, in general swung back to the 'weaker' teams to results which are not out of line with results in some of the senior mens leagues. Maybe the issues are that the actual number of teams in the league magnifies the relative differences, given the frequency upon which teams play each other?

I would argue that VUW and Karori would probably be somewhere between W.United & Seatoun, based on what i have seen of them. Perhaps an 8 team league, which would also help travel costs for some of the wellington teams, given less travel to Palmie/Rapa, if they have to travel less frequently?
