Adam Walne definitely should have been in months ago !!!

.

Absolutely no way is Theo Fages any were near ready for a first team shirt yet & any one who as watched the 18's & the occasional 20's game he as played in knows this { apart from billybradshawsmum because she is bias!!!!!!!! }

This so called initiative has come from the RFL, the idea is supposed to be to strengthen the cooperative leagues, if theres no 20s or 23s the players will go to the lower divisions to learn their trade, in theory sounds good, in practice not, every superleague club is in the same boat and will have to dispose of alot of very talented lads, the coop teams dont have the room for them all we will just lose alot of talent into the wilderness. There are people who say 14 teams in superleague is too many as we dont have the talent to fill them, well we will have even less now. The RFL have dropped a huge dogs doodah with this.
Salford 20s have been the most successful 20s team we have had in years and out of the blue the majority were told, sorry we no longer need you. My sympathy goes to Lee Spencer, Alan Hunte and all the backroom staff who have given so much time and energy nurturing and developing these lads, and all for what.
I cant understand why they had to disclose this information a few days before the biggest game the team will of ever played, i just hope they have the heart to turn up.
Good luck lads, to each and everyone of you, go out on Sunday and show the rest of the world how good you are and dont give up on your dreams.
RIP superleague, the RFL have just signed your death certificate.

How many have been kept on?

Three have been offered 1st team contracts but have not yet accepted, two others have got contracts, several lads with first team contracts have not been renewed and the rest have gone.

Is that in addition to Ford/Fages/Owen/Sneyd who already have contracts?

yes, they are all ok, just the lads whose contracts had ended.
