Not sure about wakefield being much easier,they've had a couple of good results beating Leeds and London

Indeed but surely there can't be a tougher fixture than Catalans U19s away? The South of France is a very tough place to play youth and academy, West Yorkshire is a less hostile place (mostly).

I would hazard a guess that Catalans won't be beaten on home turf this season.

Dave is there anywhere to check on all the results and standings for U19s and Reserve Competition? Have you heard anything about the play-off formats this year?

Hi Mark The following link should work and then choose fixtures, results or tables and select Academy or Reserves Championship (league table not updated for Reserves though!!!) www.rugby-league.com/match_centre not heard about the play-off system yet.

Thanks, that will save me from rummaging about various websites!

I do hope next year will see more teams joining the reserves competition, the clubs need to support it.

I agree; already it has proved beneficial to Warrington with Stef and Mitch Dodds getting some game time at Hull before playing at Salford.

I am certain that other clubs will have noticed the benefits of this rather than Dual Registration
