Quote: Starbug "Perhaps the wrong ' term ' , yes clubs like Leigh and other similar clubs have always ' fed ' their best players to the bigger ones [ although we used to get a transfer fee back in those days ] , these days it is probably much less so , as in truth we are more likely to ' fed ' by the SL clubs due to the wholesale ' hoovering ' up each area's junior talent '"
It isnt the wrong term. It is the correct term. You just dont like it because it goes against your argument. It is right and it is healthy and it is good that players play at a level which correlates with their ability and development. That will mean that the best players will play at the top level, players not quite good enough, or not quite there in their development will play in the leagues below. If they improve to a sufficient level they will move up leagues, if a player loses form or fitness and fall below that level they will drop a level. I dont see why you have a problem with that.

there is nothing unworkable about it. It would be quite easy to administrate and would work. The issue would be convincing the 5/6 clubs who have got it right at the moment to give up the competitive advantage they have earned.
