If you get a couple of players coming through that make the grade then thats great, but we've had all conquering junior set ups in past years and very few made the grade.
The reserve team is really about getting squad players game time - nice to win but not really that important because it's not a competition league the games are played in!

.
That being said its something Wigan, saints and Wire do well.There top superleague sides

GP1 has a very familiar tone about them, now let me think who it could be (quite a long list to be honest)

I don't think you know me mate. Just a fan on a forum expressing an opinion.

Just want to say. Booth looks to be quite a find.

Has the physical attributes similar to a young Marty Ashton.

Has pace to burn and can find a gap.

I would like to see him get a few games at centre or full back.

You can’t beat speed.

Seems to have something about him.

Looks like he can cover wing, centre and fullback.

Any idea if he’s signed beyond this season?

Well I thought he was just this year but Love Rugby League has him as one of the players signed for next year already.
