I don't think you do have to find 20 odd more players to fill out the reserve grade team. A mix of players who are from the 19's pushing for a first team slot (smith, oledzki, newman, trout, oldroyd,sutcliffe) with a mix of players who might be coming back from injuries or cant get a spot in the first team at the minute/ the players loaned out (lilley, ormanroyd, walters, keinhorst). Although yes some recruitment could be needed for reserve grade we have the majority of a squad.

I see your giving James Donaldson a trial

Do you ?

Yes

Can't see the harm for the club - but he wont play - if he does the likes of Cameron Smith wont

He's one of those players who will give everything & has all the core skills but is just not big enough. It's what frustrates me about players like Ferres who have it all, with the size, but just can't be assed half the time.
