Lee will be making his come back from injury for the Swinton Lions on Thursday.



For any wire fans who fancy it, it will cost you just a £5 to watch the Lions v Whitehaven, at Leigh Sports Village.

It isn't swinton's or warrington's fault we have this system, but now we have it why shouldn't the two clubs (within the rules) work it to their best advantage? We've no other way of giving Lee a game. Maybe if enough fuss is made, it might make the SL clubs who voted for it think again. But why should that stop you going or supporting the club that is helping develop our young players?

It's on Premier Sports on Thursday. Or you can watch it by other means.

Remember it's the Super League clubs who voted this in place. No wonder Rugby League is in the state it is.

I understand and appreciate that Warrington didn't want this to happen, and there has probably been an element of 'sabotage' over the past few months, but I think that the way Swinton, a once proud club have sold their independence to become essentially a glorified academy is shameful. I am not really up on the Swinton squad this year if I am honest but I presume a player, who is probably getting paid by the match will now have to drop out and miss the chance to play in front of the cameras.



Some may argue that Swinton are simply picking the best squad, but the league table would suggest otherwise. There has been talk of players unhappy, and if relegated at the end of the year and this shoddy system stays in place will Warrington still want to be partnered with them? That is a lot of gaps to then try and fill if not.



Is it fair that Whitehaven should have to play against an international stand off (who's wage would probably take up the majority of the C salary cap) then the next week Batley play a much weakened side? No. The Championship is a strong competition in its own right, and it is incredibly disrespectful to treat it (and the paying fans) as some kind of glorified warm up for recovering Super League players.

Blokes and their dopey principles. A northern disease ?

Agreed - but as I said, it's not swinton's fault.

It has been their choice to not sign the memorandum of understanding and use the system in a way which no other club has though. Last year Smith said to Paul Rowley that we couldn't be partnered as Leigh are "too ambitious", it is pretty clear what he meant now. I understand the reasons why but it is sad to see us use a once proud club in this way.

I was always terrified of first team players making their comebacks in A team games in case someone wanted to make a name for themselves by cleaning out, or singling out, one of our "stars".



Obviously players need to get match fitness somehow so we have no choice, but hope Gary Chambers looks after him.

Leigh are in the again moneywise, how's that ambition working out for them?
