Piece of piss this one mate. In recent years we had an U21's team which dominated the crap out of the competition. There is a lot of talent locally for us to draw upon when we re-introduce the reserve squad next year.

How many are currently in your squad?

Reintroducing it a year before the licence decisions is a gamble that may not pay off. Plus still no 18's academy? No Foundation academy? The RFL may not take that as a serious long term attitude and rewarding that would just encourage all lower division clubs to sack off their academies and reserve sides until the licence reviews are in play again.

Good luck with that, your team certainly deserve it at the moment.

Three years is a long time for a club to pull up it's bootstraps and conversely, to cock it all up big style. We are at least currently making sure we are doing the former. The first hurdle is to win something. This is what we are setting out to do this season.

Of course.

This thread was started by Albert the Phallus and, therefore, could never be described as having 'sensible arguments and reasoned thought.' It was always going to be a slanging match. That's how he likes it.

once his 'outdoors time' was over it turned into a decent thread.
albert, dally and damo-leeds should do the club circuit.

I fully agree with what you have just said.
I only fear that if we all meet critia then they still pick and choose who they like, theres going to be some unhappy people and wouldnt be a fair.

It isn't a "yes" or "no" case though, is it? If someone meets the criteria in more of a way than someone else, then they are in a better position for a franchise. Not everyone will have the same case, even if they all meet the minimum criteria. The RFL will pick and choose the best applications, not just ones that meet the criteria.

So why do people still bite?

It is not a question of "biting" old chap. I have started a serious thread that people are interested in participating in -- even if most of them didn't answer my specific question. 200 postings and 14 pages tells you that RL fans are interested in the subject.

Sometimes I am having a laugh, and sometimes I am very serious. This thread is an example of the latter. Pity you can't tell the difference.

IF BEING IN SUPER LEAGUE IS ONLY ABOUT TV DEALS AND SPONSORSHIPS YOU CAN STICK IT UP YOUR A**E

Do you mean to suggest you'd be happy seeing RL fall behnd other sports financially and lack the means to hold onto its' best players?
