Sadly it's not happening. I really don't see the point in a team winning by 50 or 60 points. It does no good to either team.
I don't know what the solution is, unless you allow to better U20 sides to play in NL1 or NL2, but that would cause major problems. My friends and myself have discussed this topic for many hours without resolution.
BTW Wigan U20's beat Hull 14 - 8 at Hull yesterday.'"
It would be penalising the successful clubs to keep them in a competition they cannot further develop in and the step up as a result would see talented players struggle to adapt where a couple of months in the Championship Leagues would undoubtedly help, but then too many loanees doesn't give the championship long term benefits with consistent massive squad turnover and experienced semi pro's being shoved out to fit another promising junior.
However judging by how long its taken the top teams to get to this stage (Wigan, Saints and I believe Warrington are seeing the first fruits from theirs) a fully competitive competition is going to be 10+ years off and that is if every team ploughs money into it now and do we think that will happen? We still haven't got to a fully competitive Super League...

Very good!!
Your right they have let us break the rules all season sign far to many Aussies and always let our players off from suspensions. They also allow us to have a referee from our own town each week to make sure we win!
They shouldnt allow us to continue developing players to the standard we are, so they arent good enough to play super league/championship rugby and make sure we have players to play 18s and 20s!!

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row

As I said twelve u18's played v Hull in the U20's on Saturday. The rules don't allow U18's to play in both the U20 and U18's on the same weekend.
I also believe that they don't allow U16's to play in the U18's competition.
If Wigan had done either of the above they would have been fined.
What's your solution?
One of the reasons all this came about is that Wakefield postponed their home U20 game v Wigan earlier in the season because they could not raise a team, so the match was played last Wednesday.
Given that players and coaches complain about two games in four days over Easter, does the same logic not apply here?

| U16's are allowed to play for the U18's.
Greg Wilde, Danny Yates and Domonic Speakman where all in the U18's vs Wigan yet all qualify for the u16's.

Apologies, I thought that they were not allowed, but the point still stands that with twelve U18's playing at Hull, they couldn't have played over the weekend.
I'm not sure if the U16's are still in training as their season has now finished.
Are the Saints U16 lads still in training for their Aussie tour?

Rogues dont let facts get in the way of their fun

That is the first post I made.
Playing over age players, regardless of the club is as much to do with Saints as anyone else.
In fact the last time I raised this on the Wigan forum I was banned, which incidentally was in breach of the AUP.
So Wigan fans in general fit the description of paranoid very well IMO.

I don't understand your post.
Fozzard played in the U20's over the weekend (no problem, you are allowed to play three players)
No team is allowed to play over age players in the U18's.
The rules don't allow players to play in the U18 and U20 over the same weekend, yet stupidly they can play Superleage and / or U18/U20 over the same weekend.

They only go on tour next October but yes they're back in training from U15 level.

The rules do not allow players to play in both age groups as it is to ensure clubs have sufficent players to field two teams
Also just to correct who actually called off the Under 20 game it was Wigan as they had 4 players on Under 18 Academy duty that weekend on the 12th June
So that weekend neither their 20 or 18 played (Scource Wigan staff)

That weekend Wigan had seven players in the International U18's side in France.
rlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/WNewsList.aspx?id so that may have been the reason.
It must have been the U18's game that I got mixed up with, a game that never got played.
rlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/WNewsList.aspx?id
Surely you would have more chance of fielding two teams (allowing for injuries) if U18 players could play in both comps over the weekend, although I don't believe it should happen. It was my understanding that the reason is not to burn out players.
