Quote J20="J20"Aren't their rules about sides creating 'super amateur clubs' or something like that?'"
Warrington used to have connections with the Crewe Wolves and the Chester Wolves so i don't think their is any rule to stop professional clubs having connections with amateur clubs, well their obviously wasn't around that time.
Its a good move from Widnes if true, a lot of potential talent gets missed in the amateur game because of the lack of interest at times from the professional clubs, i know Warrington in the past wasn't great in this area but thats certainly changed in recent times.
