This is great, playing Championship rugby is certainly the best place to be for our young players, but how are we going to field a reserve and academy side with so many players playing for other clubs?
My guess is the 6 Leeds players in the Fev squad are likely candidates for the hybrid reserve squad and I can't see any of them playing for Fev this year barring a rash of injuries. I don't think it;'s a coincidence that 4 of the 5 players that Fev retained from last year's reserve squad are outside backs given Leeds seem to have much more depth in their forward youngsters than in their backs.
So my guess you'll see...the likes of A Sutcliffe, McLelland, L Briscoe playing for Fev on DR when not selected by Leeds
...the likes of Holroyd & Walters going to Bradford on loan
...the likes of Dupree, Whitton, McConnell, O'Connor, Spence, Waite-Pullan and a few other Leeds youngsters, plus around six Fev reserves, making up the hybrid reserve team.
