Put the reserves out... where is the rule stating we have to put out a full strength side?

If a player is contracted to Leigh in some way then we can play whoever we want surely.

They have to be part of the 1st team squad listed by the club at the RFL (hence squad numbers -do people think the RFL insisted on squad numbers for any other reason?) the 'rule' came as a directive to all clubs and was well documented at the outset, there are 'contracts' and there are 'academy contracts' they are different.
