Between 1908 and 1996, the competition was known as '''Reserve Grade''' and was competed for almost exclusively by reserve squads of each of the [[New South Wales Rugby League premiership|NSWRL Premiership]] Clubs, competing with that Club's name and colours. With the advent of the [[Super League war]], and the resultant split competition in 1997, the NSWRL reconfigured the competition as the '''Presidents Cup'''. From 2002 until 2007, the competition was known as the '''NSWRL Premier League''' until it was reorganised into its present form. ==='Stand-Alone' Clubs=== With the competitions having merged back together, and with six [[New South Wales Rugby League premiership|NSWRL Premiership]] clubs having merged into three new NRL clubs ([[St. George Dragons]] and [[Illawarra Steelers]]; [[North Sydney Bears]] and [[Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles]]; [[Balmain Tigers]] and [[Western Suburbs Magpies]]) the competition became known as the '''First Division''' and included these sides competing under their original name and colours. St George and Illawarra have since, however, decided to unite their Premier League and Jersey Flegg sides as well, and so the [[St George Illawarra Dragons]] compete as a united team in this competition. The inclusion of these non-NRL clubs (along with [[Newtown Jets]] in 2000) in the competition signalled a move away from the 'reserve squad' competition it had become and became increasingly differentiated from the NRL competition with games played at non-NRL venues such as [[North Sydney Oval]], Newtown's [[Henson Park]] and [[Western Weekender Stadium]] at St Marys. Another trend that began during this period was the phenomenon of NRL clubs 'out-sourcing' competing teams, with several NRL clubs choosing not to field sides in this competition and rather field either merged entities (as in the [[St Marys Penrith Cougars]] and [[Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers]], both formed with [[NSWRL Jim Beam Cup]] sides) or form agreements with another club to take their place in the competition, those players being eligible for NRL selection, such as the agreement between [[Newtown Jets]] and [[Sydney Roosters]] for the 2006 season. ====2007 Expansion==== In 2007, [[Bartercard Cup]] club [[Auckland Lions]] joined the competition. The Lions play their home fixtures before [[New Zealand Warriors]] matches. ====2008 Expansion==== In 2008, current [[Jersey Flegg Cup]] club Central Coast Storm will field a team in the competition. The team will continue to be based on the NSW Central Coast but will act as a feeder club to the [[Melbourne Storm]].<ref>[http://www.nswrl.com.au/article.php?id=188 NSWRL news] Retrieved on [[27 December]] [[2006]]</ref> In addition the Panthers will be replaced by the [[Windsor Wolves]], the Sharks will be replaced by the [[Cronulla-Sutherland Cobras]] and the Canberra Raiders will no longer field a team.<ref>[http://nrl.com.au/News/Latest/NewsArticle/tabid/76/NewsId/6416/Default.aspx NSWRL announce teams for 2008 State Comp] Retrieved on 1 August 2007</ref>.
