Do we have the squad depth for reserve grade Rugby? : Sun Sep 16, 2018 3:18 pm
I would like to see reserve grade R/L compulsory for Super League from 2020 funded by the RFL.I just cant see that we have the squad depth for a meaningful weekly fixture list,and its no good clubs trying to run a reserve team when you play once every three or four weeks because clubs cancel fixtures due to not being able to raise a team.
The reserve league should be competitive with something to play for other than keeping fit with a trophy for the league winners.
When Super League re negotiates the TV deal lets ditch Thursdays and get back to Sunday afternoon matches with one live TV game played early Sunday evening when nothing on TV is worth watching and one live TV game is played on a Friday night.
All Super League matches are televised and can be viewed with Annual subscription without having to pay for viewing other sports you dont want.
