I can see this one going down a storm with the more ambitious Championship clubs as Big Nige and his team lurch from one crisis to another!!!!!!!!!!
Leigh feeder to Wigan
Fev feeder to Cas or Wakey
Fax feeder to Huddersfield or Bradford
I bet all the Championship fans of the above, who truly want their own identity, will be in uproar to a governing body with selective deafness.
Come under the banner of Super league mentors lads and let's show you how to 'run' a club properly like we do in Super League !!!!!!!!!!!!
What could possibly go wrong!

The biggest of the twins will just dictate to the smaller of the twins all the time.

The best players will be taken by the big brother with what's left over for the little nipper ar kid.

Allthough it breaks the rules for any one individual to literally have ownership of more than one club.

This in effect gives the biggest club of the two control over 2 clubs.

Exactly mate.

It will be just like a rugby league guest house for the supporters with people who are strangers to the fans.

I can just imagine when someone makes a break, go on, go on er what's his name

That's if anyone previously connected with their real club bothers to turn up to watch this new found twin of theirs.

If Fax ever became a feeder club to anybody I would stop supporting them and putting money in. Its just wouldnt be my team. I really feel for the poor Hunslet fans. OK they will likely always struggle but least they would have their side. Now it seems it will be Leeds Rhinos Reserves not Hunslet Hawks. The idiots at the RFL cant see this and keep pushing the game along to benefit SL clubs. The recent Academy rumours do not benefit the game as a whole only SL clubs. Dual Regs benefitted SL clubs far more than Championship clubs. We have SL which is a comp nobody really wants to sponsor. We have the Challenge Cup a shadow of itself and we have many teams season over by end of August. Great work RFL. Meanwhile the game continues to grow in Australia both financially and as a product leaving the English game trailling

The sad part of this charade is that most Huns fans I've ever come across can't stand Leeds Rhinos. They were even chanting anti-Rhino songs at the Shay earlier this year, I bet they feel totally shafted.

Been to fans forum last night and we have been told Fev won't be linking up with a S/L club we will continue to develop and progress as we are so that's great in my eyes Hope other clubs now follow including yours

Hope you are right but they may not have any choice, the RFL have one mandate and that is to protect their 'precious' and that is SL, all the rest can rot as far as they are concerned. I feel for Hunslet fans, fancy being a side dish for the club they detest most, not nice.
