Certainly not the number Leeds was hoping for.

Nope. Maximum of 2 players allowed in the match day squad from the grassroots game. Unlimited university players allowed.

Would be very surprised if the official who told me was wrong.

It’s very strange that every club has announced reserves and their under 18s fixtures apart from us.

Maybe the Tony Gigot rumour may not be a bad shout, but would he be happy with being a back up?

And maybe Sinfield doesn't`t see Newman ready for first team action week in and week out.
Whilst I`m sure he is going to be an excellent prospect just like Walker some experience in the backs might be what is needed this year.
Without doubt Hurrel and Gigot if signed will get injured and miss a few and who better than Newman to step up.

I'd persevere with Newman tbh. Last season was his baptism of fire, no point back tracking with his development now that he's gained experience the hard way.

Newman is aiming for and England spot this year. I am sure been backup to an arrogant frenchy would go down well.

How can you have a "first past the post" champions when all teams don't play each other on a home and away basis? Surely this it should have been a top four or top five play off system?

Newman served his apprenticeship last year IMO, he's been given the number 3 shirt and it is his to lose and rightly so, I think he will go well this season as he will have learned a hell of a lot last season and will also be a year older physically.

I think he will be at least in the England train on squad next year.
