See the reserves (whoever they are) are home to Saints on Sunday 1.30pm at Richmond. Didn't know we had enough players, so could be a bit one sided. Hey ho!

Literally we don’t have enough players. On the plus side we have now established a policy of not publicising when we lose so no one will know what happens.

I dread to think what standard they play at.

Warrington were expecting a load of 2022 Skolars players to turn up last week. If true, it could get interesting if Broncos are still injury blighted once Skolars season starts Calling BOSG, anyone got some rugby boots....

I may pop along. Hopefully won't need a calculator.

Does the scoreboard allow for 3 figures?

If it is the same pitch the academy / women's team used then no scoreboard.

That might be best then.

Be interesting if they even name 17 players, could easily be something like 15.

There really is no point a part time team running reserves? None at all.

There had been some suggestion this was a requirement for clubs designated as having elite academies.

I'd also argue right now about running an acadamy, I can see the reason for an acadamy more than reserves, but lets be honest, any decent players we find will go north long before we see them in a Broncos shirt, so why pay for it, if we are not going to see any decent products from it

This of course has long since been an issue in football where there is at least some compensation paid to teams who have their academy players picked up by bigger fish. No reason why RFL can't bring that to the pro game. Sure the North will say there is no money, well clubs will have to find some if they want to sign other clubs academy players or develop more of their own.
