Just out of interest what’s everyone’s thoughts on reserve grade next season. I’ve been keen for this to be brought back for a few years but my worry was always going to be how serious some clubs would be and how it would be financed.

My biggest worries appear to be correct, in recent weeks Ive seen good lads turning there back on the game mainly due to the proposed part time and pay as you play offers been made to lads at 19/20 years of age. This as certainly been the case at cas. I was also given the same information last week from Warrington parents and I’m aware it’s also been done at Huddersfield.
At cas 7 lads were offered part time deals less than £100 a week but then they were expected to do a full pre season with the first team. Only 3 signed the other 4 have walked although 2 will be snapped up is my understanding.
Yourselves I’m told will mix and match with featherstone which could work. I’ve also no doubts the likes of Wigan and saints will run a successful reserve set up.

It was initiated by Hall due to homesickness and been away from his family. It was nothing to do with his performance.

Very poor from Rogues , i expect better from him

To get hall from wakey Wigan would have had to pay around 10k, £100 for every week in their scholarship, assume same applies for academy so Leeds pay 5k after his year at Wigan

Do you rate Hall dj?

He was wakey stand out player at scholarship, haven’t seen him since so can’t comment, I’d assume he’s been going ok for Leeds to want him considering the players you already have in his position
