My understanding that as long as they are only turning 20 not 21 in the comming season then elagable. Also that Johnson and Gilcrist from the reserves are being kept on as two of the over age players leaving a spot for a possible first team player to drop down .(Dean, Emitt etc)
At least 4 accademy players are moving up plus a possible few more now to old for that team could be kept on.

I haven't, unfortunately. I just read in the RL press about Hull letting go a number of players and the reason they cited was the abandonment of the reserve league.

I would imagine those players who have been signed to the first grade squad will remain but I assume they won't be playing, except when they are playing for first grade, once they turn 21. But I really don't know as like you I haven't heard or read anything about the new setup.

U20's is such a random age, why not U21's? the RFL are comedy genius's

Been going all season that hes signed for Wakefield, now apparently going to Salford, either way dont think he will be a Leeds player next season. Wish we would have kept him as I think he would have been a quality replacement for Scott Donald when he returns to Aus.

i see your point but forwards esp develop later. The dual registration is agood idea though

I think that guys like Emmitt and Frodsham would be better playing for Widnes or Leigh than the second team. Playing against bigger men is likely to toughen them up more. This will make the jump to Superleague less of a transition.

I do agree with you feelings towards the RFL. As I said before they are bringing in an u20 comp just as the NRL are about to ditch theirs. Its almost as if they want us to be behind the Australians.

Absolutely. Just make sure we can call them back if the "red alert" alarm goes off and we need a prop.

I believe Leeds did release 7 players or so that they couldnt keep hold of due to the changes in the competitions next year.

This doesnt include the likes of Ratu, Gibson, Worrall and Broughton (assuming all 4 leave).

Where's the old Rogue these days? I expect he will know the date.

On his hols

Bostock, Haggerty, Cooper and Asher are all being released as over age players. Not much around for these lads. Not aware of anyone coming in for them.

We could have a fireman pole like in the original series of batman fitted at the Hatton Stadium. They jump on to it in wearing White and Black and come out at the bottom at Knowley Road wearing the red vee.

Is there anything duel contacts can't achieve??!?!

Quick to the Saintsmobile!!!!!

If they are good enough they won't have any problems picking up contracts in the two lower divisions.
