Quote: ShortArse "Yes he did. HOWEVER, he really kicked on when he was loaned out to Huddersfield.
If Gelling and Thornley need game time then it should in SL, not the tier below.
We have certainly done this in the past few seasons (over in Humberside, Vikings, Giants ...), and this would be a preferred option for me.
FWIW I think both will get enough exposure to the game day 17 at the moment, as they are the 'first reserves' for centre/wing/back row.
Murphy is possibly a player who could get good experience at Leigh, although again he is probably one who we should look to bring in to the 1st team at the earliest opportunity or loan out at SL level.'"
Rugby League is a lot about confidence. Give the fringe players some time in the Championship to build confidence and then as you correctly pointed out, loan them to a SL side to build on the rest.
Confidence is key and loaning them to another SL club to have the p*ss taken out of them doesn't make sense.
