like i have just stated on the lillycrop thread - Gledhill And Grayston were offered full time deals, it wasnt their agent who i believe is mick robinson that turned them away, but the SERIOUS lack of money. We need tgo pay out mmore if we want to keep the youths we bring through.

Fair point, but as TRB suggested the non-fed players should be the icing on the cake so naturally should be amongst the higher earners in the squad.

This is not possible Clan, the rule at the RFL is all agents have to deposit £20K before they can act on or for any player as a registered agent, and to go to that length for players from just one club would be OTT, unless you intend to become an agent for all players ?

Unless we partner and negotiate a unique agreement with an Agent who has already lodged his deposit and is registered with the RFL.

That is true, but players cant be represented by an agent until they are 17, and at that point most will have been signed on if they are good enough at 16, and away from their amateur clubs a full year.

Having a parent who is your agent plus an ex Trin player is the best way forward, or so im told
