Quote DGM="DGM"It's good to see a number of young & decent players coming through at Rovers. T[uhat's what SL needs, a strong Championship where the player pool can be expanded by giving game time to these youngsters, ultimately with the best rising to the top.[/u
There's still plenty of time (6 games left?) to re-gain some form & get Carney & Jowitt in the side. Leigh & Widnes are poor, and Catalans have imploded, so I think it'll be the most competitive middle 8 we've seen so far.'"
I think that players rising through the levels is a better model than the widely-loved under-23/reserves concept.
Shift funding (and responsibility) from SL-clubs towards investment in the game's grassroots. Young players would be more likely to stay grounded and keep their options open (after all, most won't make a career out of it), and nobody would have to worry about ring-fencing or suchlike. Bin-off dual reg and keep loans to a sensible limit.
