...and a few other clubs?
Given that Harlequins Rugby League Reserves did quite well last year and sit in 5th in the league with 4 wins on the trot......does [url=http://www.league.quins.co.uk/news/9836.phpTHIS[/url give Skolars an unfair advantage?
I hope so  icon_cool.gif" alt="icon_cool.gif" title="Cool" />
Win all their remaining fixtures, complete with bonus points....go up to face Widnes and the rest next year and then get a SL licence in 2012 icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" />
This board would melt under the flatearth posting....... icon_cool.gif" alt="icon_cool.gif" title="Cool" /> |

You don't get any bonus points if you win - you just get the three points. Bonus points are for losers. So do you think Skolars could replace Quins in 2012? |

Nope, but I can imagine the gnashing of teeth if they were to win the railway cup thingy in the next 2 years and get one of the 2 new SL licences...along with TOOLOOSE icon_eek.gif" alt="icon_eek.gif" title="Shocked" />

Widnes academy beat Harlequin academy this weekend. As the Widnes first team could hardly beat an egg, it suggests these players might not be much better than the ones Skolars already have.

I don't think it's a positive move to be honest for London Skolars, if anything it allows them to relax abit and reap the benefits of the good work Quins have done with their youth set up.

How will it affect Skolars salary cap? In terms of either these players costing them something, or not having to pay at all meaning they could trim their squad knowing they need much fewer players?

I think this is a negative thing disguised as a positive thing to be honest, similar to the whole Quins RL/RU thing a few years ago. |

Not a friggin chance. If you ever do visit Skolars you will understand why they would rather die than merge with us (and lets face it, there 200 fans aren't worth the trouble anyway icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" /> )
Nice post though. Does it come from experiences you've had in the past? |

These are the guys who don't make the 17 for S-U-P-E-R-L-E-A-G-U-E- games.....not the under age kids.

Fantastic player Murrell, okay we didn't bring him through ourselves, but Morgan deserves credit for trusting the 20 year old Murrell (at the time) with the crucial stand-off role during our promotion season (and having had faith in him since) when he could have gone for say a veteran Aussie for the role. |

These are the guys who don't make the 17 for S-U-P-E-R-L-E-A-G-U-E- games.....not the under age kids'"
I know that.
But the 3 Harlequins players I saw turning out for Skolars against Hunslet a couple of weeks back were all definitely from the academy - with the young lad at full back looking like he might be pretty useful when he's finished growing. If you're saying that Harlequins are going to start sending fringe first-teamers instead then I apologise, as that will have a bit more of an impact. Although TBH, it probably means scraping home wins against Workington & Rochdale rather than making the play-offs. |

the point is......this is the start of something bigger. If the RFL sanction this "loan" agreement, then expect to see the reservve grade players from Superleague flooding championship sides.
Not saying it's bad/good......it is the thin edge of the wedge, that's all.
As for O'Callaghan (lad you refer to)...he is local (Hammersmith) and a real prospect....and to be honest, the tip of a very large iceberg.

Completely serious point/question now. I can see that Quins do have some promising young players and clearly a good youth set-up. So, if there has been a strong flow of talented young people taking up RL over say the last 10 years, why do you think this hasn't translated into improved crowds?
I.e. surely the more young people playing, the more would go to watch Skolars or Quins? I found that when I decided to play rugby at a young age it went hand-in-hand with becoming a fan and supporting Rovers.
Again, this isn't a dig (for once eh
