| Quote: ninearches "IMO this is the biggest single deficit in our game ,there is too much of a gap physically between a reserve team & academy level. In the good old days there was probably more stability throughout squads because you could play bulked up old timers & a.n.others side by side in the A team. There was more seamless integration into first team rugby for reserves when called on to turn out for the first team & quality wasn't affected as we seem to see now. Oh yes, & effort was always part of the match day experience.'"
the lack of a credible reserve league gets brought up time and time again, but it comes down to money, the same clubs want to invest in it, the usual suspects can barely afford to run an academy and even a first team.

| I suppose you would really need some input from the local amateur clubs for promising players to turn out on an ad hoc basis. Sadly, though many amateur & works teams have disappeared. These are definitely times far removed from the hay day of A Team rugby.

again this is another problem with the modern game, they reckon a lot of the academy lads that dont make it, don't filter down into the championship, or back to their community clubs, they just go to civvy street, which is understandable, i remember when i first read the guardian, the amount of RL reports and scores for the multitude of amateur clubs, eg laportes various age groups. it was mental.

| There’s murmurs that McMeeken and Davies (no idea how true) from Catalans could be available…two players I would definitely want in our squad.

| Based on the "Austin drinking with board member & co at the Ram's Head" story on another thread, Austin back for Drinky Winky next year? (or would we rather have LaLa or Po?)

It seems that he will be staying in the NRL.
Good news IMHO :-
