UK based Super League clubs should have to run a reserve team. It's so simple. Cougars do it

Should be one of the criteria for Superleague membership.

I read an interesting tweet from Gareth Walker (RL Journalist) the other day:
"London, who already have a duel reg agreement with wakefield (also partnered with fev), sign one with Widnes, who have one with Whitehaven"

There's something inherently wrong with our game

Reading the reserve team news is great, very refreshing amongst the sour taste of the DR scandals. Very glad we never DR with anyone, id rather be in Champ 1 and have a solid youth development. Without a reserve team how do clubs develop players?

They don't, they either buy overseas crocks on ridiculous contracts or pay peanuts to any club who has a potential 'good un'.
Training and development of players is HARD WORK. Lots of clubs find that anathema.
