Rubbish to hear more Super League teams are scrapping the reserves. We now expect players to be fully developed and ready for Super League at 19. If not, youโre on duel reg (when available) and expected to develop and impress enough to break into your own 1st team from there ๐ค.

We had Aaron Moore as our referee last night for the first time. It might have been an easy game to ref with it being so one sided but i thought he was really good. His communication with the players for the full 80 was first class. Impressive for such a young referee.

Sarg playing the game against Huddersfield was by far the toughest and most inspirational thing iv seen in my career. We think people are tough for playing with injuries, broken bones etc. This was much more than that.
When Dan Sarginson needed someone to be there and didn't want to sleep in the house alone, George Williams packed a wash bag and stayed over for the night ๐ฅบ. @George7Williams, a true friend and real one ๐ช๐ . #OutOfYourLeague episode 3 ๐

Please donโt buy into this bullshit. The comments made by the 2 retired players would lead you to believe there is a problem with performance enhancing drugs in our sport. That is not true. But it makes a good headline.
๐ Back page of The Sun today features former RL players Oliver Wilkes' and Jamie Acton's drug revelations. Wigan refused to comment when approached and Whitehaven are expected to today.

I see no tweets about any other players NOT taking a knee this week. Wow. Seems like all the people having a dig last week seem to accept it now?.
St Helens and Catalans players take the knee before kick-off: but noticeably Israel Folau did NOT join the rest of the players in doing so. Wow.

I understand that a reserve set up comes out of the clubs pocket but surely if thereโs anything worth investing in, itโs developing your own players?.

I think itโs criminal that a reserve grade isnโt compulsory at every SL club. This article is worth a read for anyone wondering why it is so important. Nothing in reserve - why rugby league could lose generation of talented players

With a minimum wage of $150k (ยฃ90k) in the NRL itโs not surprising kids are looking at making the move so early. Most young players playing regular SL would be earning about third of that if lucky.
