Quote northernbloke="northernbloke"What's really different to now? You name yr 19, what happened last year if you get 2 injuries in training then a flu virus.
The reason it was brought in was to show some transparency in squad selections after in effect a reserve team turned out in some games.
The naming of 21 allows a bit more flexibility in squad choice for coaches.
As for Fulham losing players am assuming you are talking football?
Apply that situation though, that's 3 from 21 still leaves 18 and you can only play 17.
Cant really see what the issue is'"
There is no transparency as only 2 exception are included. Everything else is hidden behind an RFL decision. There is nothing in what the RFL have issued that indicates as far as i can see they will make public their decisions & therefore will be subject to speculation.
