Your not getting the point its not about the "fairness " of the reserves competition it is about the financial loss each club will face during that home game with Corowa not fielding a reserves team. loss of gate fewer sales of food and drink etc yet their payments for that day will only drop minimally. Why should the other 9 clubs suffer a financial loss to benifit CorowaThey've forfeited games this year anyway. You could say this way is fairer as its even for everyone, with the teams they forfeited against missing out this year.
