Quote Cokey="Cokey"So we have an extra game to play, and yet we now also have - (Player Welfare & Education Forum (PWEF) to help ensure player welfare), which i find bemusing.
Match limits :-
The RFL has rules that limit the number of matches a player can play in a year.
The limit depends on the player's age and position.
For example, forwards over 22 can play up to 2,000 minutes, while backs over 22 can play up to 2,400 minutes.
Players 18 and under have even lower limits.'"
I would envisage most Super League teams wouldn't play many first teamers in this stage of the Challenge cup..
