I'm with you. I completely understand why the board have made the decision, but why not say this earlier rather than get a team in the comp and then fold it. I've put a lot in over the years on the belief that I was bringing young players into the game and into the team. I was told that the funding for the reserves was being kept separate from the first team. Feel let down and won't be putting any more into the club.

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
