Having scraped into the top 4, Fax are lucky that they won't have to make any cutbacks next season, although it's unlikely that we'll see many new recruits (given we're quite likely to end up probably bottom of the M8's). However, we of course wouldn't have been in a position to be only able to field a squad of 15 players if we'd failed to make the top 4. Did I ever mention that Fax have a reserve team?'"
You should mention that to Gary Hetherington!  |

Embarassing for a “heartlands” club
If this has been Toronto people on here would have been calling for their head. Instead they are giving fearherstone a pat on the head and going “there there.

A rare occasion, some words of wisdom from you.
Having an argument with some fev friends of mine last week, them declaring that clubs like Fev are the lifeblood of the game and they develop tje talent for super league clubs. But can not get a side like a 1980’s sunday league pub side. |

If the lifeblood of the game can’t field 17 players we’re in a worse position than I thought.
Lebron James is absolutely correct. West Wales Raiders failed to field 17 players and posters were saying they should be kicked out of League one and become an amateur side. It’s one rule for expansion clubs and one rule for heartland clubs in the flatcappers eyes.

Why not just put two guys on the bench who are injured and then not play them. No one would know.'"
Stops malpractice at the bookies, I expect. |

How is the DR system to blame for Fev not having enough players? |

Why? 15 players is within the laws of the game. |

Because without DR, Championship clubs would need to have more of their own squad players. The cost difference would be minimal or may even be positive (given that DR players normally come with a bill to be paid), but they'd still have enough cover at the club to be able to field 17 players when the DR tap gets turned off at the end of the regular season (DR players need to have played 3 times in the regular rounds to be be eligible in the 8's). |

Mediocre thinking is the reason the sport is in decline.
The alarm bells are ringing but nobody responds... |

Is there anything to be said for Super League teams to have lower division sides as official feeder/ reserve teams given that some clubs seem to provide the majority of players for certain Championship or league one teams. Most of Swinton's recent signings have been former DR players from Wigan.

Disappointing that today a Huddersfield and a St Helens player have been selected instead of 2 of the clubs own players in JWH and Jones. |
