Who you guys buddying up with next season ?

Nobody, I hope.

Might make me a hypocrite but I wouldn't be against us having an arrangement with a Championship 1 side, so we can get some game time for youngsters and fringe members of the squad.

I wouldn't be impressed if we suddenly Dual Registered the entire team with them, but having a proper agreement in place with a club such as Gloucester could be beneficial. We had Jarrod Ward on loan there last season, and that Half Back we got from the french league (Ex st helens, cant think of his name) was loaned to London Skolars. Ideally somewhere more local that Gloucester or Coventry for example, but Its an avenue to explore, Marshall may have a view on the whole idea having been at Warrington who have supplied Swinton with half a team for a couple of years now

With no second team set up, we'll need some way of getting players some games

Not being hypocritical Brew, I wouldn't mind dual reging down, give our fringe players game time, but not up.

I agree it would be of no help to Fax to be at the mercy of a SDL tie-in. Too disruptive.

But buddying downwards could be good for the game. I'm sure non heartlands clubs in Championship 1 would appreciate being able to tap into a source of players. They clearly struggle to source local lads and/or have lads commuting from their northern homes.

we have not done so before so why should we now. unless tie up with a championship 1 side.

It would be natural to think if it did happen(plenty of rumours going about) that it would be with Wire.

You agreed to the charity boxing match yet PAC?

Greg I wouldn't give 1p to any charity connected to a certain super fan so short answer is no


I only asked coz our guys are rumoured to be linking with you, I'm against DR myself but RFL seem to love this baby.

Was against it, still am, just another way for SL teams to sign up talent in case they miss out rather than them signing for a lower placed club and then a transfer having to be paid. This is one if the reasons lower league clubs are struggling.

We're thinking of lending Bradford some of our players.

Why not tie up with Keighley, they look like they will be on a reduced budget next year and there seems to be good links between the two clubs.
I for one am very disappointed that they have been relegated. Keighley away was always a fixture I enjoyed.
