I'm sure I remember a time when aspiring SL clubs who didn't run teams at all age groups due to a lack of money were told this was evidence that they were 'not ready', providing complete player pathways was vital. I think this was around the same time that making the Championships a competition worth winning in its own right was on the agenda.

From the very little that's been said on the subject I get the impression that these things are still 'under discussion'. Pearson seemed extremely sceptical that any mechanism could be set up that would be acceptable to both clubs and I agree with him. No idea how you could make such a scheme work in practice - some sort of draft system maybe?

Seems barking mad TBH, particularly in an area where divisions run so deep.

Not like the RFL to announce or introduce something without looking into any potential problems thoroughly





See we can agree on something
