Don't agree.

If a player is to progress the current state of reserve grade isn't the place to be. If he ain't ready for SL then NL will bring him on of that there is no doubt.

Loan him out to an NL1 club and he'll come on a bundle.

Exactly.

Jon Fallon was going stale in Rovers reserves side earning £50 a week and got nothing in the way of first team seeing several players brought in to play in front of him.

Goes to Championship, has alrerady earnt Thousands and has had two Super League Clubs enquring as to the length of his contract and availablility after that.

The reserve comps are pointless and full of kids who can do much better elsewhere.

You have therefore contradicted yourself mate... if they are pointless then why are they a shop window' then?... but I know what you mean

The problem with loans is that each club has its own way of doing things and in the NL the training isn't quite as intense, if Rich is already getting full time training then he's getting better training than he would at any NL side and giving himself every opportunity to get first team game time at Rovers.
