Positive and constructive as ever Moonshine.

GeoffRoebuck in principle your idea is a good one but I'm not sure that the Dons have the pull to attract youngsters in those areas against the bigger clubs who ply their trade there. I would think expanding our contacts and influence within the amateur clubs closer to home would be more profitable.

A reserve team is required so that good local amateurs can make the transition to professional rugby league . We appear to be building bridges with the local sides .

They will never know if they don't try & they don't all have to be youngsters we try to sign after all the Dons are playing in a division only one step up from the National Conference leagues.
