Have they ? Where does it say that ?

If they have then surely the ruling applies to all clubs, seeing as all clubs are governed by the OR's...........

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

'For a bonus point perhaps you could tell me the last English SL coach to lead his side to victory (either Challenged Cup or Grand final)? ....or perhaps records don't go back that far!


Clive Woody 18.4.06, not able to remember last year! pray for him......


'I shall take your failure to answer my question as an admission that there are few if any English head coaches in SL.'

Clive Woody 18.04.06, proving his inability to count and plumbing the depths of trolldom.

If on the other hand Skolars end up with a team of Quins reserves and lots of ' strine ' then it isnt really achieving much


Would it matter if they still had Aussies and Kiwis? I dont see that as being integral to making this a success or not.

I thought Skolars had cut down a lot on their imports anyway? Or do you mean the Quins loaned players would be Aussies & Kiwis? I read that it would be some local young players who'd be loaned out but I s'pose it could be imports....though cant see why Quins would spend big to bring a good quality player over only to farm them out....

as an aside, I thought the Skolars had made a determined effort to promtoe from within, as it were, rather than looking overseas?

Given that Harlequins Rugby League Reserves did quite well last year and sit in 5th in the league with 4 wins on the trot......does THIS give Skolars an unfair advantage?

Win all their remaining fixtures, complete with bonus points....go up to face Widnes and the rest next year and then get a SL licence in 2012 :lol:
This board would melt under the flatearth posting....... 8)


I saw your reserves for the first time Saturday and was really impressed.

A few caught the eye especially the big balf forward with the beard. Big old unit and took some stopping.

Still enjoyed our winger leaving Matt Gardner for dead though. Worth going for on it's own that was.

Worked with Catalans/UTC. Why not reduce the running costs of the Championship clubs AND improve player development at the same time?
Spin it the other way round, all the semi-pro clubs become fully pro, buoyed by an influx of free players.

As for O'Callaghan (lad you refer to)...he is local (Hammersmith) and a real prospect....and to be honest, the tip of a very large iceberg.

I thought LMS was the tip of the iceberg.

But will the fans of those clubs be happy watching SL reserve matches ?

Not knowing from one week to the next who will be playing for them as it will all be at the whim of the SL clubs coach ?

was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have

If they aren't then it won't work for the SL clubs, since the exposure to the crowds is where the value is for them. I reckon we'll see some long-term loans, some rotation loans (say Skolars will request one of 5 players from Quins academy) and then the rest of the Championship squad will be made up of FT players bought by the club. While the C clubs would profit from the deal, the SL clubs would be getting the most out of it so would have to tailor the deal to suite the C clubs.

...

Hopefully.

...

For example we've offered academy players to TO, but they are only taking up the option this w/e to cover players on international duty.
