I'm not bothered about a level playing field, the club knew this when they asked us to back them in their application, and then threw us a curve ball .Who found out (and when) that their carefully worked out application was found not to be feasable?

The RFL wish is coming to fruition the so called "Elite" then the rest of us Feeder Clubs as per the NRL Format.

Sad times , we started the reserves and have basically shot ourselves in the foot. Now as already mentioned we are a feeder team to a rival. This is the same concept as in Australia. So all our best players will basically end up at Huddersfield and we will get first option on what they don't want.
Can remember the day when we beat Huddersfield convincingly how this great club has gone backwards.
I know we are been forced by RFL to adopt these rules but we as a club will get no where under this system.

Sounds like there has been coaching casualties as well because of the abondening of the reserves. That probably should save some money as well.

Thought it was reported they were staying...? although keeping 2 coaches for a team that no longer exists when money's tight defied any form of logic.

Last line of statement by BOD in Oct re Reserves
Martin Gonzalez and Steve Greenwood, our valued Reserve Coaches, will both still have major roles within the Club.
Whatever that means
