Why would you play the game on same day as 1st team? Do we have 2 lots of medics, water carriers, physio etc?

In the past both games could have been played at Trailfinders.

To find the result google St. Helens reserves and follow your nose. We lost 60-18. Judd Greenlagh scored twice Jacob Thomas once and kicked all 3. Ferreira was sin binned. Recognised the names of the 3 academy kids in our 1st team squad not the others U18s I assume.

Should we be recruiting from hills hoists wests etc for our reserves?
I can't believe there's a chasm in standard to what we have now.....u18s or kids in 2nd grade league doesn't work....you need gnarly seasoned players.

Work permit issues for some. Others just wouldn't want to do the travel / required level of commitment for pin money realistically. The prospect of weekly hammerings won't help.

Playing at Ealing, on the main pitch, short travel etc.....shows up Wimbledon as an even bigger mistake

It's more the away travel. In my London days I knew a few people who turned down Skolars to continue playing recreational as they didn't fancy traveling to Cumbria for £25 or so a week
