The reserve situation is a farce to start with. Until the game expands and invests heavily into youth and clear pathways are created,the battle is lost before you start. The game is continually going round in circles with no answer too youth.

Whilst I agree with your coments, again, does anybody know if we are running a reserves as it was stated that we would - and if so where are the players coming from because we are about 15 light

It was stated we would be running a reserves in a co-op with Salford, that was before Salford and Mr Beaumont lost his friend the good Doc from his position of head honcho at the AJ Bell, not heard anything since, and on tgat point I think "no news in this case is bad news"

As an aside anybody know if Leigh and SRD are runing the recipricol season ticket holder concessions this year, I enjoyed that last year went to Salford on 5 occasions.

To be fair not many teams seem to be bothering (Hull I believe the latest to pull the plug) - didn't seem to get many games last time we did it, don't think that would change much now, seems to be a lot of expense for little benefit

Saints have decided against a reserves this season as well. Seems like if we are to run a reserve team we will only have Wigan, Wakey, Fax, Keighley and Wire to play against.

we need to make SL teams to have reserve teams,youngsters need bringing through all the levels to get the skills needed to make SL players.The teams at present are just using the system by having players out on loan to other teams.Some money from wherever needs to be invested in the reserve league

We've been there before with licensing.We need new ideas,not failed ones.

If we not going all in with a academy team then I would not bother at all if the lads good enough they will get picked up off a bigger club if not it’s back to amateur rugby which will bolster the dropping numbers in the local sides

Re: Probable Ins and Outs : Wed Jan 10, 2018 7:07 pm  

See the academy got a good hiding again. Is there any point in putting our name to a lost cause? If you not going to do it proper it’s not fair on the lads who are playing I played for the academy when it was run right lads was chomping at bit to play but it just seems like they going through the motions with this

Played most of the match 11 against 17. Unfair to accuse the lads of “going through the motions”

Re: Probable Ins and Outs : Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:19 pm  

Should have 30 leigh lads wanting to play not 13 where all the local lads why they not playing? There to many lads not from leigh in the team that’s why there no pride in wearing the shirt. People moan that there is no leigh lads left in the team and this is why cause we don’t have a proper set up it won’t change unless we have these lads playing competitive rugby on a regular basis
