mmmmm... Rochdale and Bradford. Which club is feeding which?

just so you know we are not a feeder club to leeds or Hudds

with mcnally he signed for them from us and the contract stated he was loaned back to haven for the 2009 season , thats why he hasnt been recalled

as for leeds we have agreed a 12 month tie up with leeds where our players will train with them from time to time,and thier coachs will come up and help out in coaching etc
any players they want to loan out we may and i say MAY have first dibs on, and they signed Kyle amor who is not a dual registration player he is a leeds player again part of the deal was we kept him for 2009, he goes to leeds for pre season in November and no doubt he may make the first team straight away, he may not and come back to haven on loan or maybe a club nearer leeds as he is moving down there

think your all getting a bit paranoid about this

when you get loan players you take a risk of them being recalled

If WE are paranoid why do you have to justify your club not being a feeder a club when you have just given a prime example of one me thinks you 'shout' too loud and soon to be believed.

i posted this arguement last week, our league (champ & champ1) is
going just like the aussie league, we are to be feeder clubs to the SL
clubs , thats how the rlf ( a load of old fuddy duddys ) with flat caps
& whippets, (eg; 1960s folk) want OUR rugby league to be,.
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE aussies WANTED THEIR LEAGUE TO BE LIKE OURS. now because of all the old timers (with whippets & flat caps ) running OUR rugby league we have fell behind.

Why don't they (the RFL) just come out and say it? If explained correctly and could be proven that it would be good for the GAME and not just the upper echelons (sp?) of it then all would be satisfied, but it would seem the RFL have become an organisation that make the Masons seem like 'an open house'.

Heres a radical plan, all SL clubs MUST have a (real) English (European) coach, but are allowed to have an Antipodean advisor.
All SL clubs must have European (thats players born in Europe) only. That league be restricted to ages 21 - 29 before and after that age Champioship clubs must have them and a 'draft system' introduced.

All Antipodeans must ply their trade in the Championship leagues, with the same quota rules as the SL clubs have now,thereby making those leagues somewhere where the young players prior to SL can learn off them both by word and deed, and all this to be funded by the TV money with strict control over the antipodeans so that no Championship club could become a super club having all the 'best' players.
Yes the door to SL would be shut for the championship clubs but isnt that what the RFL and SLE want now?
Still have a franchise system but a REAL one instead of this 'old boys club' that is now.

Now would that make our national game stronger after all the current system aint working. Stupid idea? decide yourself cause like I said the current system isnt doing much for the national game for isnt that what we are all in it for
