Fantastic news

Might help with injury rates and recuperation too.

Should allow them to complete against non reserve sides too IMO

Stick them in the challenge cup but potential cup tie senior players over a certain age to stop us SL teams putting first teamers in there

only says 11 SL teams entered does this mean Leeds are not joining??

11 English, the other being Catalans?

The 11 English Super League teams, Bradford & Widnes are all required to have a reserves side. There have been applications from 5 other teams to enter the league, I would suspect Halifax to be one of those along with someone like Newcastle & Sheffield perhaps?

It's nice to hear a bit of positive news; overdue, and can only be a good thing for the game.

Where would the reserves play? Is Orrell still in the club s long term plans? Would it be at Robin Park?

Robin Park I presume. That's where the reserves played last year in the odd game they arranged.

Most of us seem happy that the reserves will be returning but how do we expect to benefit? There could be a few but it depends on what the aims of the club are. Will reserves be a higher or lower standard than DR?
