It'd be something like Walker playing prop and Prior playing full back.

Ava on the wing.

That sorta thing.

Reserves will be 3rd grade down. Dual registration comes before the reserves the likes of McLelland, Johnson, Sutcliffe etc will play more at Featherstone.

Leeds link up with Featherstone means their fringe players can also play in the Leeds reserves team.

Yes but they run their own reserve team too to think of and dont have a huge squad as it is

Fev arnt running a reserves this season

The RFL have put a limit on number of Fev players Leeds can use tho and have also blocked University players that Leeds was hoping to use in theor reserves.

University players can't be blocked from playing.

With Tom Briscoe already injured we look hopelessly light for wing and fullback reserves. A 'new' Ash Golding wouldn't go amiss.

Maybe the Tony Gigot rumour may not be a bad shout, but would he be happy with being a back up?

They obviously would be trialists and RFL is limiting that.

So no more A N Other? Gutted...

Certainly not the number Leeds was hoping for.

Nope. Maximum of 2 players allowed in the match day squad from the grassroots game. Unlimited university players allowed.

Would be very surprised if the official who told me was wrong.

It’s very strange that every club has announced reserves and their under 18s fixtures apart from us.

And maybe Sinfield doesn't`t see Newman ready for first team action week in and week out.
Whilst I`m sure he is going to be an excellent prospect just like Walker some experience in the backs might be what is needed this year.
Without doubt Hurrel and Gigot if signed will get injured and miss a few and who better than Newman to step up.

I'd persevere with Newman tbh. Last season was his baptism of fire, no point back tracking with his development now that he's gained experience the hard way.

Newman is aiming for and England spot this year. I am sure been backup to an arrogant frenchy would go down well.

How can you have a "first past the post" champions when all teams don't play each other on a home and away basis? Surely this it should have been a top four or top five play off system?

Newman served his apprenticeship last year IMO, he's been given the number 3 shirt and it is his to lose and rightly so, I think he will go well this season as he will have learned a hell of a lot last season and will also be a year older physically.

I think he will be at least in the England train on squad next year.

Steady on there, they're our respected partners in Europe - for 6 more weeks at least.

Nothing wrong with competition Gotcha and if last season had anything to do with it he wasn`t the standout centre.
Granted he`s young and should be given a chance but having no competition for places isn`t going to push him on to achieve more similar to Walker I would say.

People surely arent saying Gigot should replace Newman are they??? Good God.

Weve got to get this kids tbru or we will win nothing in donkeys years. Have patience with the fantastic kids we have. Newman is going to be top drawer.

Yep spot on. Got to put trust in him now.

Loui McConnell, Liam Whitton, Harvey Spence, Daniel Waite-Pullan, Tyler Dupree and Jarrod O’Connor playing for Featherstone Rovers on DR this weekend and Wellington Albert on loan for the season.

Expect the news on who’s joining Bradford Bulls on loan, but fully expecting Corey Johnson, Muizz Mustapha, Tom Holroyd and Sam Walters.
