Callum Marriott was finished by Salford, together with a number of other U20s, 3 days before their big play-off match against Wigan. As mentioned on another thread, he has now signed for Oldham and I wish him the best of luck.
Alex Davidson is contracted for another year and, together with the Adam (prop) and Jordan (second row) Walne, Adam Files (hooker) and Dan Bretherton (wing) haven't got a clue where they will play next season.
PV's policy, as demonstrated last season, is to ignore the club's younger players, to the extent that he does not include them in full training until he wants to use them as cannon fodder. As he did the night before the 20s were due to play Leeds in the play- offs, stating that the first team's match against Wakefield (at Leigh) was more important!
Other SL clubs have paired up with Championship clubs to allow their youngsters to gain experience and game time. Coming to such an arrangement doesn't actually incur a cost, but guess which club hasn't got such an arrangement yet?
And because there won't be anybody else left, we'll be sending our boys two and a half hours away to Workington because every other club here, in the heart of rugby league land, will already be paired up elsewhere!
