Think that should be a joint venture personally, would benefit both clubs if could bring through some some local riders. Agree with you there, will be a couple of years before we see the rewards from it but can already see the progress the young lads made this year. Although I think the club will want the Devils number 1 at reserve for the Monarchs, that was the reason Sarjaent was dropped for Nathan this season as James didn’t want to do NDL.

Makes a lot of sense from Edinburgh's perspective, plus doubt want to give Glasgow advantage of having Connor there. Why not split the home fixtures, call it the Scottish saltires or something. For example have Connor and Edwards (if goes back) as 1 and 5 then build kids/ inexperienced guys around it. Yeah difference in Millar brothers in particular from start of season was night and day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you could loan Bailey to the Monarchs for next season, he suited the blue and gold away at Newcastle Would love to have Edwards back but fear the travel may be too much for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing that hasn't happened under the facenna ownership was promise of a training track. Shocking the lack of Scottish riders around nowadays.
