Whether it is formally a reserve comp or you U21’s suggestion I have no specific preference, but without somewhere for squad players to get a game then loaning out is the only other option.
This obviously has a knock on with “structures” building playing partnerships etc.

It does. doesn't it...go on... you know you want to tell us..please..pretty please...

Steve Price might see how the lads perform in a more demanding environment then create a bit more competition in our pack when they are recalled.

If what you say about tonight's game about Lineham & Atkins is true. Your word is good enough regarding Ben Currie.

BWW, what about Atkins & Lineham? Pray tell

Might be a little twist to tonights game by all accounts.....

[iThe u18s and u21s structure use to be in place and was producing good quality Super League players. Those looking for a conspiracy theory could ponder over why the controllers of Wigan and Leeds, who had traditionally reigned at that level, were the two ringleaders in the switch to u19s and dual-reg at a time when Warrington and St Helens were starting to overtake them. I wonder which were the only rwo clubs to vote against the proposals?'"

Just so long as it's not a knee twist.

What happened to the Savellio thread?

You need to read back a few pages on a different thread from LB.

Is the Wire Flyer on the bench?

Nope

Who's Savelio?

3 year deal with Hull FC (joins them with immediate effect).

Wow

Hope he goes well for Hull.

..except against us.

One big tackle away from being in the same boat as Ben Currie! coming back too soon can prove suisidal.

sorry 'suicidal'

Is painless.

Disappointed that we haven`t re-signed him.

Very brave move awarding a 3 year contract to a player that hasn`t played rugby league for a season.

Suspect if we were interested that we would have offered an initial 1 year deal, so that he could prove himself.

Hope Andre can resurrect his career and fulfil his potential.

You are right it is a big gamble,let's hope we have had some good advice from the medical team.Once I knew we had signed him I had a look on your forum and its fair to say that its encouraging that the majority,given medical provisions,would have had him back.It's also good to see that now he is ours,there is none of the usual,he's crap,waste of money etc.Most are wishing him well and good luck.Credit to you guys and good luck with your season.

nah, he was a bit of a bright spark in the crap season of 2017. Even if it was obvious we were never keeping him.


I do think though that Hull have jumped the gun a bit giving him a 3 year contract, but in the situation that you find yourselves in Pearson/radford probably felt they had to jump at this since he was available. Hopefully he does well for you and his knee is all back to normal.

second row is one of our strongest positions especially with currie now back in the mix so i dont think we had of gone for him, good player when fit so hope he goes well.
