Typical RFL reinvent the wheel yet again. A teams, Colts, U21, U18, U21, U20 its had more chnages than I have had Mars bars (my favourite choccy bar)
I think that this comp needs to stay U20 with 3 over age only and never change to make it work.
Glad to see that Fax will be back in the fold and with an avenue for fringe players to get some game time.

Where do the players come from ,the younger end of the u21s from last year have either walked away from the game ( due to the way fax treat people} or have joined other clubs.When will the comp start as I presume a squad for u20s has to start training well in advance of any games.Are fax going to approach Karl Fairbanks who has done a great job in the past

Have they walked off the end of the Earth? We'll get a full and promising squad - we always do.

I would suggest that they would come from the same place that they always come from.

There will be players ready to make the move up from academy, we will have people who want to come to the club to trial out and we will have our scouts out looking for players.

I might be thinking outside the box here.....but....maybe they will come from the numerous amatuer teams that play in Halifax? Crazy idea but it might just work . Players will always want to try and play at the highest level possible.

All the best ones are already signed at Salford, bradford or Leeds! I think it will take a while to build a decent side with younger lads coming through the scholarship!
