This is an interesting development after all the resistance to the academy merger!

Great news if it comes off and maybe one of the reasons for the U19 merger. It gives the picture a whole different look.

In theory its a good idea, but will be interested to see how it works and who plays in it.

I personally think this would be better as a merged team and leave the 19's separate.

Great idea and I hope that many teams end up participating. All they need to do is scrap the U23 bit and call it something like 'A team' as the OP says.

Yes, it's good news but having it as an U23 competition seems arbitrary. Also I thought the primary reason for merging the under 19's was to reduce cost. I would have thought having an U23 squad would be expensive.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?:

That's always been denied.

Several championship sides have been running u23 reserve sides for a couple of years. They would relish the chance to play super league reserve teams

Cant see the point of limiting it to under 23 unless there is an agreement that you can play 2 or 3 overage players if necessary.
Why not just go back to the A team structure.
I said months ago Hull and HKR should have applied to put a joint team in Championship one playing home games at HKR.That would be better than dual reg and solve a lot of the problems of young players taking the next step to first team football.Probably more economic too than running two under 23 teams.
For me that would have been more acceptable than merging the academy.

This is exactly what is needed and hats off to the clubs who are banding together to make this happen that's why the Aussys produce a chain of good young players the Toyota Cup / Holden cup Queensland cup are all very good grades and Prepare players for NRL they are played before the main games in most cases and even televised maybe we could start by having a double header with the clubs involved.

This has gone someway to restoring some faith in our board who I thought had lost the plot Merging the academy but if the saving from that go into this U23 comp ill be very happy because I know this is needed disparately by good young players who are been lost to the game eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

Are we likely to have 17 fit players every week for this team without playing a big chunk of the U19's?
