| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"Did they bother playing it? If I was Leneghan I'd just have the reserves forfeit to save injuries and paying to put on a glorified training session in front of a tiny crowd. Actually no, I'd have the first team forfeit so that we could win the challenge up under the name of 'Wigan Warriors Reserves"
 . Just thought of another reason it wouldn't work, if Wigan got knocked out in round 4, but the reserves went through to round 5, the first team would end up playing the reserves fixtures, thus effectively cheating the system.'"
Not if specific rules were in place regarding squad selection |

Ahh was PSV who played their reserves. PSV won 3-0. Ajax nearly played their reserves in the FINAL in 2002. Sadly the Ajax reserves lost their semi-final match. |

But how could they do that? The first team would need about 25-30 players registered for the cup, otherwise we could get left short due to injuries or a reserve might find good enough form to make the squad but be inelligeble. If there were no injuries however, there would be 8-13 lads who couldn't make the first team but were ineligible for the reserves. |

The Northern rail cup could be a good starting point.
Format it a little different so it's a pool based comp like the champions league or RU European cup.
That would guarntee you'd get a few games at least.

At the start of the season, both sides name a 25 man squad with the proviso that 5 from each can play in both giving each a 30 man squad.
So, for example, Charnley, Marsh, Mellor, Logan and Tuson are named as the 5 1st team members that can play in the reserves. Therefore if Wigan were knocked out then Wigan reserves could only call on those 5 for the next round. |

Do we really want them playing potential SL opposition tho?
Championship sides are one thing but SL players are whole new ball game. |

Maybe they just don't enter the CC, but I do think them playing in the Championship would be a good move. |

Then you have got the cap situation i'm quite sure people would kick off about it and if the younger lads was training full time they would want a decent wage dont get me wrong i like the idea but it just seems like there are pros and cons to the whole thing |

Please no! We're just about getting to a level where there are no easy beats in super league. |
