The reserves mess is for me one of the priorities that the RFL and IMG have to get right at look at seriously. Any team in the top flight of RL being SL should have a mandatory prerequisite to have a fully functioning reserve set up and any club cancelling should be fined heavily (unless there is a very good reason for doing so). I'd even say that clubs that have been committed to the reserves set up should be rewarded some way for the effort and financial outlay in doing so.
Until the Governors of the sport and the clubs themselves take the reserves seriously most of the ideals of moving RL forward in this country will just be a pipe dream.
