My pick would have been Loughborough. I'd like to hear the argument behind picking Gloucestershire (my guess would be facilities as it seems an RFL obsession). What do they do about signing players as well? Can they have players that aren't students there and if not then surely that's a bit short sighted as there's only a finite player pool?
On one hand, a great idea to get some young blood in to the game (spectator-wise, hopefully they'll get a good following) but on the other I can only see them getting pasted week in, week out if they can only pick from the uni player pool. Added to that the "help" from Leeds that will undoubtedly mean their best players are nicked.
