There's been no back tracking as it was never formally going to happen. I was told when they got actual coaches and TDs who understand youth development and the importance to discuss the changes the response was overwhelmingly negative for the proposal with many reasons given as to how it would be detrimental to 16-17yo players in both the short and long term. So common sense prevailed and they are continuing with keeping them as part of PYL but will still have the play before reserves so clubs can fleece more coin from parents.

I understand a memo has been sent out too notifying clubs of these changes already and how it will work.
