Quote ="Legionited"But at what cost to their own development? I mean if we are sending our youngsters to Gateshead and bringing them back when they're ready for Super League, then what have Gateshead actually gained? In the short term they may well benefit from having some good quality youngsters in their side but we'll be taking those players back who are good enough and disregarding those who don't achieve what was hoped.
Let's say Gateshead produce a young talent of their own, I assume we will be first in line for taking him away?
Don't get me wrong, I think it can be very good for us, but I also find it worrying that teams from the national leagues may essentially be used by Super League teams as feeder clubs.'"
If players are good enough for SL they get snapped up anyway. So it really makes no odds.
