They get full time deals with the SL club, or get DR/loaned orare released (to join another club or persue another career path).

Leeds have Hunslet and the All Golds as feeder clubs.

I think York are jumping into bed with Hull FC.

It seems to me that this is definatly going ahead then. Be intersting to see the reaction of the championship fans - Will tehy be happy withthe arrangements?

A number of champ clubs notably fev and sheffield have spoken out against it as i think have leigh and fax. Would you watch your team if ten of them belonged to someone else

Doing SLs development work for them. This is purely a cost saving exercise to the detriment of the players and the championship clubs. If you can't afford it pay your players accordingly.

Might be wrong but i'm sure leigh are restarting there u23s after disbanding them last season due the the ex chairmans money problems.

If this happens it will mean that 1 year into a licence period , the RFL will have altered the criteria for having a licence

And people wonder why fans/exfans like me get fed up ?

If they are going to have licencing the least they could do is set rules for a licence period , and stick to them for that licence period

Maybe licensing is coming to an end...?

yep a miserable end to a miserable experiment

And then Salford, Bradford, HKR, Cas etc, will of course magic themselves loads of money, and all will be well.

Already has, IMO - feeder clubs would indicate we're moving towards out and out franchising rather than reverting to P&R.
