But it is also ironic that it comes from the chairman of a club who for years have relied on dual reg heavier than any other championship club. If you want the league to be more "professional", dont turn it into a SL reserve grade!

So where would you play your fringe players in the championship & league one or the U19 league ?

Be interesting to see how the proposed changes to reserve teams in SL impacts the sport as a whole, I suppose Swinton would rather have it be called off? |

Andy Mazey makes a valid point, if Rochdale can use Mayfield’s ground, why couldn’t Leigh play at Leigh East instead of having to hire the Totally Wicked Stadium?

My bad. I do agree with his point! If the championship is wanting to raise its profile and get a TV deal, it cant be seen to be playing in a farmers field. |

We’ve got one. Leigh and to be fair, our players get more playing in the championship than they would playing a load of amateur players from Wakefield |

 As for saying “it’s a professional sport” - if all Swinton’s players are fully professional then fair enough. If not then they can shut the f up.

You really do remind me of that Saints fan who was always on here constantly winding Leigh, Wakefield fans and a few others up, and eventually got banned. What was your, er I mean his name ? 
My guess is, you both have the same Mummy. |

Roy. What was wrong with what I said? Our players learn more playing for you in the championship than they would in a reserve team because there isn’t the player pool to run a decent standard reserve league. It would be full of under 19s and amateur players |
