My family went to Batley next to a munitions factory .....soon came back to Newbridge road area

Batley have linked up with Hudds.

Assuming Sheffield, Fev and Fax want to stay fully independent, that only leaves Doncaster and Keighley in Yorkshire, I think.

I was brought up on Tim Taylor's so it's Keighley all the way for me.

Mmmmmmmm.....Landlord...

As good a reason as any to link up.

I can see why some clubs wouldn't want to link up due to them eyeing up a SL place themselves BUT I can see it hurting them on the field.
British players are going to be at more of a premium then ever as the NRL export quality drops off a cliff and there is a genuine flow of players away from SL instead them flowing into SL.
SL clubs are going to be sucking more and more 'decent' British players up from the league below to fill out their squads IMHO.
So any club that has this tie-in will have access to better players as fringe SL players should be better for the reason I have mentioned.
Clubs who decide to go it alone are being very brave but it's understandable why they are doing it.

Did you miss the first post

Wigan/Leigh are not officially twinned. Leigh will however will be getting DC players from Wigan as Wire and Saints are officially twinned with others. Wigan also need somewhere for their older academy players to play since SL clubs have forgotten about young players over 19. So to that end Leigh will allow some Wigan youngsters into their U23s. At the moment Leigh have a first team squad of 23 signed up and up to last Wednesday 18 signed up for the U23s. Also it has been stated Wigan will have no input to whether their players play. So until/if they announce we are officially twinned I will have to say that it seems Wigan need Leigh!!

Workington have paired up with Widnes. We seem to be running out of options.

Doncaster would be most likely, I'd have thought.

I assume we're buying into this, simply because everybody else in SL seems to be.

We need some kind of link up, even if its just a loose arrangement with somebody otherwise we are going to have a lot of players sat on the touchline each week with no where to play.

OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD . OH MY GOD .

In the same way Leigh have not technically linked-up Wigan, maybe we could do something informal with Featherstone?

Casual - I like it.

I keep my relationships with the laydeez causal. Keep em at arms length. No cuddling. Don't accept their facebook friend request.

That's what we have to do with Fev.

I'm hoping we'll be an RL slag and just hawk our players around who we like, when we like.

Good idea that.

If they're really naughty, send 'em to Hemel Stags. Dropped three kicks and hit Sandra The Terrorist in the chops with an attempted "pass"? Off down the M1 for you Craig.
