They have teamed up with Wire and will be abke to play upto 6 wolves squad players.

Yet another devaluation of the Championship divisions led by the Governing body.

Is this more a reflection on Swinton? Maybe they'll p' off and go and play at The Halliwell Jones now?

Will this mean we will bvecome Leigh Warriers

A huge shame that the work people have put in over the years to keep the Swinton name alive have been dealt a huge blow with this. I really, really hope that we keep as far away from these 'partnerships' as possible. No compromise as far as I'm concerned.

100% with you matt but they told us at the last forum the club has linked with wigan

Hang on a minute - how many Warrington players have we utilised over the last couple of years? They aren't literally changing their name to "Swinton Wolves" - it is just an agreement to tap into their resources.

Missed that one John. Bugger.

IN Swintons case this must be in their favour as they have very few players coming through their ranks and the majority of their team are our ex players and ex players from all around the area.
Whereas if we teamed with W**** we would then lose our best youngsters that come through to W****, I would have thought.
Interesting interview though on GMR last night with young Mr Tomkins, they was taliking to him about his brother playing rugby union and he said hes not ready to go to rugby union YET!!!!!!!!
Time the RFL looked at ways to improve our game and stop us losing our up and coming stars to rugby union, and time to look at ways were rugby league is played on an even playing field again.

Something that they've already put in place by scrapping the U18's and U20's that have been in operation and instead just running an U19's competition. The majority of U20's who are too old for U19's in 2013 will be released, with the best players shipped out as part of these "partnerships", and no doubt the Championship clubs paying for the privilege.

I believe a champ club can have 6 d/r and 4 loan players so thats 10 players from other clubs, but can only play 6 of the 10 in any 1 game

Well i know where i will be if we go down this route.....

There are so many horrendous things about this system that I can't even bring myself to formulate a coherent post about why I hate it so much.

Maybe I'll post later.

I don't, but I do know where I [iwon't[/i be!
