Thats what I was thinking!

Any ideas baseded on your first choice 17 of who might be available on a dual reg?

We are in need of a full back so hopefully Shaul?

Would be more than happy to see Cam Scott back at odsal as well.

Connor Wynne would be a good shout. Good up and coming fullback.

Depends on how Hodgson wants to play it but I could see Jack Brown and Josh Bowden being sent for game time too.

Can't see Jordan Johnstone getting much game time for us either

As we are planning a reserves and academy league in 2022 “ covid permitting” isn’t the dual registration agreement with Bradford working against this plan. It’s obvious if the reserve fixtures do return, surely the goal is bringing our own youth through, with the benefit of allowing any injured or out of team/form players to display their abilities at home.

We will need more players for the proposed scheme, isn’t the dual reg system dead in the water, covid bubbles, travel etc, take Connor Wynne for example, you can’t expect him to move home, so he’d be travelling to Odsal say three times a week, when he could be playing in an attractive looking Hull reserve team, and the pathway hopefully for all our future talent on our own doorstep.

I think The Championship will be a far stronger competition than any reserve grade comp. if it goes ahead. Last time round, many failed to field teams. As I eluded earlier, it works both ways, we could perhaps borrow Ebbn Scurr, if our prop situation goes mammaries up.

Isn’t that the problem though, we need our own pathways, and reserve systems to work. Your correct on the participation last time around, Wakey Hull Halifax & London managed to compete, but hopefully this time, much more cooperation will stabilise the comp.

Regarding Scurr, I think he’s signed a contract with Bradford, he was apparently available for a price which Hull & Saints allegedly thought was to expensive.

I'd agree with Rider, if the reserves competition was properly regarded as a real program for youth and up and coming players, but it has no real foundation when many teams view it as a distraction, rather than a pathway, which it should be, for emerging talent.
I am a bit confused about the dual reg agreement though, on the Leeds forum there is a topic in which it is claimed they too have this agreement in place with Bradford. I admit to not knowing the rules regarding these agreements, but while Bradford may benefit from that, it could be the case that their youth will be overlooked for the first team, in favour of players not quite good enough yet for SL, or who are returning from injury. On the one hand the championship club benefits by strengthening their squad, but it must hamper their own youth programs when they choose to do this and there is little doubt RL in this country needs to develop talent from within, for the game to survive. I was trying to pick a first 17 for England for the forth coming World Cup and was watching a flashback on NRL 360, when GB beat the Aussies in 94 I think, MAl Reilly was the coach. Not one of that team played in the NRL and all were legitimate homegrown British players (Not like Hastings, Austin etc.)- I would not place one current British player in that team and that is the worry - we don't develop youth to the extent we should. Hull is a hotbed of RL, with the amateur game so strong, surely we could find some players if we looked and developed them, but youth systems seem to be weakening, think of that Leeds team led by Sinfield, if Leeds had had to buy the talent of Maguire, Burrow, Bailey, Walker and Hall, they'd have spent a fortune. Surely that is the blueprint to follow for any club.

Since Scurr re-signed with us I'd be surprised if he went to Hull on loan. These arrangements tend to be for the SL club to farm out fringe players and bring on players coming back from injury. You look to have plenty of forwards anyway.

We do indeed look to have plenty of forwards but if we get the injuries we did last year we’re in the poop again. It was just a suggestion not a certainty.

Didn't Luke Briscoe go from Fev to Leeds one year when they were up poop creek? 2018? I think that was initially on a dual reg deal which Leeds made permanent at the end of the season.

We were in for Scurr. Hopefully he continues his development and we can have another cracking at him further down the track.

I reckon in 2 years when his contract ends he will have a lot more interest.
Hull FC and Saints wouldn't pay the 40k fee.
