They would be doing even better if they were retained in the club's structures and playing in a reserve team where appropiate

prob down to money, ken davy is pretty good with that

used to enjoy going upto the ymca to watch the reserves mind.

not the only sl club not to run a reserve team, we run a good academy though dont we, one of the top rated

I reckon the likes of Nathan Mason would have benefitted greatly from us having a reserve grade.

Agree with this, it also means that players come into the first team ready and up to speed when called upon

Wigan ,Warrington ,St Helens,Hull all ran teams last season.If we had one it would be somewhere for Jamie Ellis to play when he returns to the club

no leeds? champions or castlford the lls? sure they have reason for not doing a reserve team

not sure why giants dont have a reserve team, never been mentioned has it?

Ellis has gone to Castleford.

Can't say I'm right bothered about a reserve side I'd rather persevere with the Academy,this could be part of Stones mandate.Email the club Brearley and ask them.

not bothered about the reserve team either, some it seems are, they can send an email to the club and get their answers

cost, RT said so at the last fans forum, we simply cannot afford to run one as well as a full-time academy.
