Quote: bonaire "With the news that another Div 1 team has gone out of business i would have thought instead of trying to think of a way to keep Div 1 running that S/L clubs who want to have a meaningful Reserve grade weekly fixture list enter a team for 2024 in div 1.
Seems that there are only six or seven teams including ourselves capable of or wanting to produce a decent reserve side so it would be beneficial to both the S/L clubs and to the RFL as it gives then a lot more time to think about what to do with Div 1
I am certain that S/L clubs who opted for this could fulfill the scheduled so called reserve fixtures with academy players given the games this season seemed to be every two weeks or even cancelled.'"
Not a bad shout that to be honest, as the RFL really need to come up with something better in terms of the reserve league as having some teams cancel shouldn’t be acceptable.
