The Case for Pro/Rel in div 2

If we want to get serious about creating a strong comp in SA then we need the best players/teams playing each other week in week out and if that means the stronger/larger clubs have two teams in div one and 3 in div to then so be it...
Take the U12 girls for an example.
In Div. 1 they only have 8 teams as Centrals and Woodville don't have a team. In this 8 team comp the Eagles are top with a 461% and South are bottom with 11% whilst in Div.2 the Eagles are top with 517%!! Sturt are 2nd 441% and even Sturt 2 (third team) have a 243%...!! Surely one or two of those Div.2 teams are stronger than the bottom 4-5 teams in Div.1?? Surely this is a better option then hoping players in div 3 will leave a strong club to play div 1-2 at a weaker club as this clearly hasn't happened... Ultimately i think Div. 1 should be for the best teams and the standard Div.3 style summer season pro/rel would determine who those best teams are...
