well to me it looks like Hunslet have become Leeds feeder team. however, its interesting that their independent supporters organisation sees rugby league going down this route. its safe to say if we ever became a feeder team for the pinks we'd lose lots of fans.

Yeh, not too surprising, Leeds and Hunslet are both located within the city of Leeds. Of course, Bramley, was the 3rd club in Leeds when they were a league club.

Pall of the Champioship teams are joining with a Super League side next year because Super League are abollishing the senior academy teams. To cut costs.I would assume that whoever we are linked with we would have the pick of their academy lads.I don't think feeder club is quite the right word.

Leeds and Bramley linked up and look what happened to them, in a few years time there will only be S/L teams and their reserves in the National league all having links to their S/L clubs, 14 clubs in each division, the death of Rugby League as we know it.

Maybe not now, but give it a few years and all champ clubs will be feeder clubs and ive heard saints are swintons sl club

I see it nothing more than a replacement for dual registration and as a means of Super League academy players gaining more experience playing in the Championship than they would competing against another academy team.

My worry would be for the young players who are not good enough for sl but good enough for the champ, would these players lose out
