[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1077602, member: 74704"] Perfect idea, would allow those players moving out of academies to go to Uni team or Championship team. Maybe salary could be removed from cap if they play a year in championship. Also better for players to be playing regularly and developing against old pros. See it a bit like the 'farm' system in US Baseball and Ice Hockey, where a player gets 'farmed' out to another league to get more experience. For example, a pitcher might go and play to get experience of doing long stints, where in the MLB team they might spend a season on the bench, losing that ability to pitch for a long innings. A young prop would do much better in the Championship playing regularly, rather than being warm up fodder for main team every week. [/QUOTE]
