I think that rule will be open to discussion.

Swinton could apply if they won the NRC. The point I'm making is that it's ok waxing lyrical about our junior set up, but some of this talent HAS to filter through to the first team a lot more than it has done. It looks like Flynn won't qualify and Ostick is leaving.

The lack of a reserve side doesn't stop a club from applying. They just won't get a point - like those clubs who will still have crap stadiums in 2012. As far as i know though, plans are in place to resurrect a reserve grade team next year.

We are runing an under 20s side.

Heard a pretty strong rumour that penny will be back on a season long loan next year.

Could be but wire only have Riley and Hicks as the wingers next year as Carney is unlikely to be offered a deal. Loaning Penny out for the season would be very risky. I realise they could call him back but i dont want us to keep shipping players back on a regular basis.

I didn't think you could call a player back if it's an agreed season long loan.

I think the idea is they sign dual contracts but one obviously holds the power ie wire.

I make that 7 home grown players ready for Super dooper league, I also make it that we need 7 new signings on board to get the correct balance of the team. We could be short on wingers but Ford can player there if needed as can Yates.

Anyone got any other ideas?

About right but i would not want josh simm as a secondrower as not big enough.Grady is getting bigger and if fills out more could fill that berth.I would like another winger signing dual contract and a secondrower.I hope cullen watches division 1 teams in the playoffs as might be a player worth signing.How about getting a kolpak player.Hopefully we will get 5 or so dual contract players for the season from superleague to save money as long as not asked back.
