As club selections changed. I thought if you had injuries in the twos the thirds moved up? Etc etc injuries used to be a path way for lower team players to progress. Are clubs now ring fencing teams? I have seen it couple of times this year with clubs drafting players who haven't played for a while, back from uni etc in before the 2nd team stalwarts get given a chance. I must have an old fashioned policy, 1s bench to 1s, 2s to 1s bench or starting, if dropped from 1s bench week previous full 80 mins given in 2s etc. Also no bench player doesn't get on, if not good enough to play, a smaller bench is taken. Also MOM of previous week automatically gets promoted into squad above as reward (not all want it but it is offered). Hey ho, and people pontificate about dwindling numbers, lancashire or no selection policies and consistencies may be a reason.
