your spot on , why this sport constantly puts up stumbling blocks is beyond me from under 7s to red hall the administration is flawed and is corruption to the core . im all for the stopping of super team building as it does no good for anyone really but surly every transfer could be judged on its own merits . if my lad was unable to move this mid term then it was very likely he would of gone to sandal RUFC and then his little bro would probably want to follow . that would be 2 gone , so the question is how many players have been lost?

one easy way out of this would be for clubs to stop! trying to block transfers as its all swings and roundabouts . its always not fair when you want a player and yet lots of clubs still try to block players leaving and this is all age groups throughout both the Yorkshire set ups and id wager its universal .

Kids just want to play , surly saying no is breaching their human rights?

i agree with you mutts, how can 1 person be solely responsible?? but what can be done about him ?

i think its sensible to have a transfer system in place otherwise things would just get silly but i agree totally that the system should be made easier for a player to move clubs if they wish to.

i think the onething that is sometimes forgotten is that these people "fixture secretarys" are all volunteers and it can be very time consuming and whilst it might seem like a long drawn out job the fact is that most transfers are done within 2 weeks.

players will come and go thats a fact and it will never stop and for me its all about finding the right club and team for a child at a level they can play and compete at whilst still been able to enjoy the game,has a coach the onething that really annoys me is that when a parent leaves the child languishing in a team and level they cannot compete in when a team down the road at an easier level cannot get enough players to field a team yet they will leave their child struggling,im not too sure what the answer to that is other than trying to reason with the parent and child that they will enjoy the game far more if they can compete,i know not all will agree with what i say but rugby league is a cruel sport where the weaker children can suffer.

tamagrace hope your son gets sorted out soon stanley could certainly do with some new players to bolster whats a decent side already unfortunatley it has come too late for us sowe could have played our fixture tommorow.

are you not playing in the morning?

unfortunatley not,the school holidays having not helped stanley and they had a few players away aswell has the coach.a bit dissapointed has its the second time its happend to us with stanley in the past couple of months but im sure they will turn it around given a bit of time.

3rd including friendly , i bet your spying in the morning but on who? maybe lock lane, be a good game at stanningley as well .

shame for stanley and with games getting canceled they may be at higher risk of losing more players befor the 12s . gutted for the kids . the thing is they have to many players that are to good to play in a lower divison and not enough squad players at the moment to probably warrant division 1 next year.

i feel like the king rat being the first to go especially as my youngest still plays at stanley but logistically its the best for us and and the nipper is now playing with lads who live round the corner seeing as we moved to the parish (durkar) . they have lost decent players but the others are not to be taken lightly .

hopefully a influx of year 7 kids will join although they have competition from eastmoor who are struggling to get a large squad and oulton who seem to have over subscribed again . one thing i know is that crigg couldn't get 10 players together this time last year and now they have 6/7 on the subs bench . a year is a very long time as im sure you know

take it you are cas panthers then who have had more than 3 incoming transfers allowed this year? i don't have any probs with any team but when my kid can't play because of 1 person is beyond me... rules are rules and unwritten rules ????? ed off mate...

I honestly can't see why you're having a problem - it's quite clearly written in the handbook that under 11's can transfer as many players as they want , the 3 player rule doesn't kick in until next year ( or the February deadline ) .

so why can my under 11 not transfer???? and what is the feb deadline?

I don't know ... honestly !!
Mutts young 'un only had a problem because of the club he was leaving , but it's in the handbook that there's no problem with players transferring throughout the season . Look on Yorkshire juniors webpage and look at constitution - can't see why you're having a problem .

The Feb deadlines under 12's - I think it's may 31'st for under 9's,10's, 11's .

but the 12's season finished...they are not under contract so should be free to move anywhere...i have read the rules and there is no mention of under 11's playing under 12 not being allowed to move..football is different, when they move to under 11 to play 11 a side no under 10 can play..

I'm lost now ( had a half tbh ) - but thought you're lad was transferring from under 11's to u11's - if he's u12's to u11's I can see why there's a complication . I'll read the book in the morning , but there's so many contradictions I don't know how the league hasn't imploded already !

spongebob..already read it and spoken to charlie bray...he calls it an "unwritten rule" also appeal goes to him to present to the management committee ??? dictatorship and to me he does not operate in the "child's" best interest which is probs illegal! waiting for my mum to get home from holiday to check the legals...

" the Childs best interest " is surely to let him play ! Think there's one or twopeople need their heads banging together by the sound of it - when I've got my head screwed on in the morning I'll have a read , seems barmy to me that he can't transfer ( only 3 games left now though anyway ).
