georgehadgingerhair Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 How is your team going with team selection each week are they struggling to keep the same team and having to make big changes each week due to availability just curious been to a few grounds this year and they are having this problem.

chisholm Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Being honest I think most teams are in the same boat. Our club has not had the same team out for two week running all season. Speaking to all the other clubs we have played they all seem to be in similar positions. We have had to forfeit some second team fixtures to get a team out in the NCL. I know of other clubs who have folded their second teams this season due to player availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcentre21 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I've watched a few games, they all had full benches of subs. Not sure if they are considered strongest 17 but had good numbers watching aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it used to be requirement of NCL membership that clubs had a 2nd team. Is that not still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a requirement but I think that a few years they relaxed it and allowed Under 18s to count. The 2nds didn’t/ don’t have to play every week although what the trigger is for the number of missing matches will no doubt be hidden away in the rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Has the £24.00 RFL registration fee had an impact on numbers? Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgehadgingerhair Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Haven't heard any complaints but this week could be difficult with it been a bank holiday noticed some teams played earlier on in the week to get round this. Don't know why this weeks fixtures were not rearranged to when there was a free week on the fixtures list or extend the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Our team haven't had settled team for a bit now, with a couple of injuries plus stag parties and weddings to contend with, but that seems to be the norm at this time of the season for everyone.

Marauder Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Last weekend we could only manage 13 players and we lost one of those in the first set with an ankle injury, this was the first weekend since we turned to summer we couldn't put 20 players on the team sheet, apart from 3 working and 1 at a wedding the rest of the faithful regular squad are injured or sick. Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
