Quote J20="J20"With how many eligible? (or is age no longer an issue?) your scheme is calling it under 23's but last two years been 'reserves' & 'under 20's ' so no idea what rulings of it are tbh!'"
U18s & U20s are Super League Structured Youth.
U23's/Reserves are Championship as well as SL.
I played with Dewsbury "Reserves" last season (U23's) and the ruling WAS (i dont know if it is still the same)
Quote J2013+ players aged 23 or younger (Reserve or 1st team)
0-4 First team players 24+
First team players ages 23 or younger are classed as 1st team Reserves, regardless of the squad status and are allowed to play as a resevre U23s Player.
Any players used in the Reserve/U23 Game on the Thursday/Friday/Saturday (U23 Game days) are ineligble to play for the first team the same week. This is including the 18th Man.
If a player is played in both the Reserve and 1st team in the same week the club is liable for a £10,000 fine (per player) and the possibility of BOTH 1st team and Reserve games being Nullified and the result being 18-0 walkover Victories for the opposition.'"
Quoted from an RFL booklet i took from the physio room when i was injured in August 2010.
I think the Leon rumour was quite clearly wrote tongue in cheek!!!
