Would reintroducing A teams benefit our game?

There seems to be quite a transition gap, from u20’s or NL to SL.
Players not in the 17 would get more game time etc…

Feeder clubs are the way forward...

Ditto. I've said this on a few forums this year.

A teams are pointless. It just takes a level of talent off the Championship clubs, further reducing the quality of that competition. What they need to do is have each Championship club formally announced as a feeder club. They get to share training facilities with the big boys, get entrenched in the big club environment and also get the young players that would normally be in the U20s of the SL club.

Fans of the Championship clubs just need to accept there is no future for those clubs. There is not enough money for them to survive long term. A lot of them are in a slow decline to oblivion at present.

You could then have all SL players on dual reg and have them play as appropriate in whichever division suits.

I wonder how the super league clubs could afford to run a feeder side when some of them can't even spend to the salary cap anyay. I can't imagine many of the championship fans sticking around to watch.

Correct on both accounts

The SL clubs wouldn't be running the feeder teams full stop. It's more about a pooling of resources than SL clubs absorbing CL clubs. The benfits are mutual for both sides I think. The U20's is a poor competition and the vast majority of games are one-sided blowouts. Young players on both sides will learn nothing from a 70-0 drubbing so a link-up with a Championship club instead will provide a more consistent test, as well as allowing Championship teams to have a bigger pool of talented youngsters to play for them

Not exactly queuing around the block at the minute, are they?

And you think this would help ?

So who's feeder club would Quins/Bronco's be ?

Of course it would,but who would pay for it?, not the sl clubs thats for sure.

Skolars would seem to make sense, nothing to say that feeder club has to be in the Championship rather than Championship 1.

Anything that raises the playing standards in the lower leagues has to be good for getting people back through the gates IMO. Nobody is talking about these clubs losing their own identities, just linking up with a SL side to benefit from the young players who aren't yet ready for the top level.

Rumours that Wigan are to take over South Wales Scorpions as a feeder team.

Another SL fan telling us how to run our own business! Mind your own and leave us alone. Not only do want a closed shop with the chance of any existing CC club ever getting into SL vitually zero, but now you want to tell us how to carry on out of SL!
