Wasn't the spirit of DR & partner- club arrangements to give CC & CC1 game time experience to SL's younger players ?

who's next - Adrian Morley in the next Swinton Game ?

Well Swinton already had Paul Wood and Tyrone McCarthy on Sunday so it can't be ruled out! Wonder if Sinfield fancies a run out for Hunslet on Sunday as well?

Why stop at Sinfield? Why not include Maguire & Burrow as well???

Michael Maguire?

If they are coming back from a long injury then they could well do.

I notice most of the usual suspects have avoided this thread , especially the ones who when the DR system was announced suggested we were all ' paranoid ' when we predicted the current farce

I hope you don't include me in that, I held my hands up and conceded defeat last week.

It could be a ploy to get rid of the Twinned teams , and make SL into a 16 team comp.

Even smokey admitted he wasnt overly happy with this last week , but many have been conspicuous by their absence



So sponsored by an alcoholic drink nobody has heard of , plus no mention of ' How much ' , this abomination and the further de valuing by having the Championships finals at stadiums the fans get to visit on a regular basis



The stupidity of both the RFL and the club owners is truly outstanding

Apart from the obvious prostitution of the Championship league by skint SL clubs why not find the positives in this scheme? It may just make the Hunslets and the Dewsburys more competitive. It may just make games more interesting. If there's nothing to stop short sighted Chairmen from doing this lets just see how it pans out over the next couple of years.



One thing's for sure - Workington will finish fifth with all those Widnes players.

How does this help the future of the game? [url=http://eggchasing.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/dual-registration-why/Awful rule[/url

Looking forward to seeing our Leigh forwards, up against Kylie Leuluai and Richard Moore. But if we lose !!!????

Seriously though, feel sorry for any Hunslet forward who has no chance of playing on Sunday, because of those 2.

It's a little scary this season, with 'established' SL players being loaned out to championship clubs. it distorts the league somewhat. Proud of the fact that we are 'going it alone' but have 1st option on most 'young' squad/academy Wigan players.

What would happen if the coach of the Championship team didn't want to play the SL player who's come 'down', has he got a say in that?



Sorry if that's already covered in this thread, didn't want to trawl through what would probably be a load of bickering and crying

dunno Steve, any we have had at Leigh, even Wire's Ryan Shaw who wasn't very good, started every game. Maybe the odd 'subs bench' appearance, but think most always started each ame after they arrived.

Whitehaven were offered 3 DR players by St Helens for Sunday's game against York but refused because there coach wanted to see how his own players went.

I don't agree with DC but I can see the argument for putting 2 Under 20's in a matchday team or 4 in a squad as that means potentially 2 or 3 can develop in a decent league and the Championship club doesn't get too affected by players leaving to go back and play for the parent club at the last minute (in effect its like losing a player injured).

5 in a matchday team however is far is too many , 11 in a squad is a poor show by the club they are at (a question could be should they be in the 2nd tier of our sport if they need 11 players from another club to compete ?).



Playing establised SL players (especially ones who appeared in a GF in October) is a farce and belittles the whole concept, it however also shows the RFL as slow to react IMHO as I suspect even the RFL didn't think this would happen - probably a loophole but unlike in RU or football when a loophole is exposed and the governing body does a press release explaining how they will close it ours say nothing and hope it goes away.

I don't think it will.



If left untouched the Championship will consist of SL's players back from injury or poor form of all ages and nationalities and I suspect the youngsters who people stated they wanted to see get game time against 'grown men' in the Championship to develop won't get a look in as the parent clubs tell the training club that they want them to play x,y or z SL player to get him fit, of course the training clubs chairmen will look at the chance of getting a well known SL player playing for his club as a great idea as they seemingly tend to think short term when it comes to decisions involving money.

Id say most long term low league fans are a bit sick of the disrespect shown in this (ie : should I be happy paying £18.00 - £20.00 to watch a clubs reserves / SL players trying to get fit) thus when I stop going as I get fed up with wasteting my leisure money (especially with so many other sports / activities chasing that leisure money) and my club starts to struggle to fund the kind of players these youngsters need (supposedly) to play against the SL youngsters are then left with playing against kids of their own age again !



Problem being by then the game may have lost 6 or 7 semi pro clubs and the supporters with them - I'd argue thats not what a minority sport needs, but then again I'm just a fan who follows a Championship club.

Whitehaven were offered 3 saints players last week clough and wheeler were two of them.our coach declined as he said he want to give our players who had done preseason a chance to cement a place in the team.We now have coming up 2 games in 5 days and crack is we have been offered Gardner,clough and wheeler.I think we will see at least one play.But I agree the DR system was never ment to give established SL players game time it was about developing young players.As soon as they removed the age limit on players registered this was bound to happen.

This but the main reason is the RFLs ridiculous decision to scrap the U20s. This was always going to happen as clubs need to get their players match fit somehow....

It was the clubs that decided to cost cut and drop the u20s.

Does it matter when you use them, if your coach from now until the end of the season uses DR players? That's no different to some other clubs who are playing the system as it should be already. Weren't Whitehaven one of the first to jump in to bed with a SL club as well!!!!!

no we were not so dont try and blame us for this fiasco,hunslet with leeds,dews with bradford,rochdale with saints etc all before we linked up.Yes it does matter how you use them,unlike york who dropped 5 of their own players to play 5 DR players from hull,or like hunslet who brought in 2 SL regulars or swinton.Once you remove the age restriction on DR,and start restricting the numbers you can play instead of restricting the number you can register this was always going to be the case.A mess created by the rfl

Keighley Signing up with Castleford ' Citing ' fear of relegation



Fantastic result Mr Wood

Completely contrary to the spirit of our once great game. RIP Championship rugby. Nigel Wood you are officially a PR1CK
