To be fair i'm not comfortable with pilfering your players while your in the poop but if we dont, someone else will, and make themselves stronger into the bargain....

We had to suck it up in 1997 when We had to sell Iestyn Harris and Paul Sculthorpe......both going on to be men of Steel, Scully twice....so its not something new and its not just us thats ever done it.

Jodie Broughton though im not sure...?? It would be harsh on Riley if he was pushed out for Broughton...

According to Mondays League Express, Salford and Catalans U19 places have been taken by Featherstone and Sheffield.

So should we get out of this mess would I be right in thinking this would have a knock on affect for the next franchise application. As we'd fail the bit about youth development?

And yes I know we've more to worry about than that.

Misprint. Another confirmation that you shouldn't believe everything you read in the newspapers.

The Widnes player is Jack Owens formerly of Halton Farnworth Hornets, a young full-back.

I can't understand why SCR haven't entered into the U19s comp - a concept I have consistently considered to be short-sighted, penny pinching anyway. But I would have thought that they would have wished to stay in the Super League related competition, unless they have already decided that their future no longer lies in Super League.

However, the championship U20s rules, I am led to believe, allow 3 over age players to be used, thereby allowing game time for some younger lads who are training with first team, too old for u19s and not in Vievers' sights to play first team.

Meanwhile Adam Files has been loaned to Oldham and Alex Davidson to Leigh.

Can you tell us a bit about Alex Davidson.Thanks

Re: SCRAPPED U19s? : Fri Dec 28, 2012 7:58 pm  

I tried posting a link but it wouldn't work. Type "Alex Davidson rugby league" into your web browser and it should put the wiki link up.

Basically he is a 20 years old prop who has played for England u16s, played a SL match in 2011 and played well consistently in SCR's successful u20s last season.

So, can someone please clarify. Am I understanding correct that we have opted not to put a team in the SL u19s, but we will be putting a team in the Championship u20s?

Re: SCRAPPED U19s? : Sat Dec 29, 2012 1:28 am  

That is my understanding of the club's intention.

Is there an U20s? I thought this was scrapped?
