Personally I prefer Carberry to Logan at hooker. Looks like Logan might be given a shot due to family connections, same as Tuscon.

Too sort this academy mess that the RFL have caused I would have liked them to introduce seven substitutes in pro game. Three (or four) should be under the age of 21 at the start of the season, and there should be no interchanges (once you're off you're off)

That would allow teams to keep hold of some of their promising players over the age 19, giving them time and experience in first team rugby.

The changes to the Academy format was not something the RFL caused it was voted through by the clubs themselves at Super League level after the idea was pushed particularly strongly by two clubs in particular with the rest bar two jumping on the bandwagon to save costs.

The changes were then rail-roaded onto the championship clubs.

Blame the RFL all you want but you know which clubs are to blame.

Which ones?

Wigan and Leeds. As far as I am aware the 2 that objected were Saints and Wire.

Are there any outside backs that would benifit from a season in the championship and have the ability to play at that level as this is where I feel we ( leigh ) are a bit short of numbers ??

Yes we do but i think they would benefit you more than it would benefit our players playing in your league, the competition is poor!

Just my opinion of course but the standard of competition we can offer your fringe players is of a much much higher standard than that of your academy level

Thanks, doesnt seem like a smart move to me tbh

We're a bit short on outside backs ourselves. Maybe Burgess+either Thornley or Gelling?

Thornley and Gelling need SL experience not Championship

Thornley and Gelling will get SL experience.
