Leigh haven't been relegated, Gateshead had points deducted so they have instead. So it would be 2nd tier rugby.

To be honest getting regular 1st team games is a big advantage to young players look at Owen and Westerman. If we hadn't dropped down a division I'd be suprised if they got anywhere near the number of games they did and they may not have progressed to the level they're at without those games.

Which, is a disgrace. Why should we have to drop a division to bring our youngsters through? I can just see Leeds and Saints using that technique! Oh, hold on a minute-they loan players to us don't they

Let him go out on loan, I cant see why anyone would argue this ???

He isnt going to get a sniff at first team rugby whilever Chase, Goldy and Shifty are fit, So whats the point in him playing against nobodys in the academy, Let him go play in League 1, Would do him the world of good

Chase, Goldy and Shifty fit all season

At some point someone will be injured. Why is our club so afraid to give youngsters a chance

Aside from first team opportunities, he will be better training full time with our first team squad rather than a part time outfit. Why would anyone argue against this?

I have to agree,it would be a miracle if shifty makes it through next season
without missing games.

great player but injury prone now, hope the club makes sherwin take brierley under his wing in training, working closely together to hopefully prepare brierley for 1st team rugby
