And thar she blows



Last year... on here was little but condemnation for the dual reg system.

Fev rhinos... remember that.... vilification for using the system well... particularly when we beat fax.

That quietened a little when Salford players crept into the side....

And now, barring hudds-shay and the odd other notable exception on here... dual reg gets approval....

Arguments against it use by fax fans are now discounted and dismissed on the same forum....

I do find league fans amusingly predictable at times.

The system is sheeite. It's always been sheeite. It will remain sheeite.

I'm in total agreement with Robin and Huddshay here.Inadvertently FFIA nails a point here,do we want players coming in with little care ? lets take 3 examplea from last year.Evalds,a Halifax lad too,did nothing for us on D/R went back to Salford and scored tries for fun,obviously told if he didnt perform he's be back at Fax.Bibby,couldnt catch a cold here but got regular gametime at Salfordsubsequantly.Wilkinson,loving his time at Fax and looking forward to helping them to top 4-his words-signed for fecking Oldham a week later !

Fed up with your current secular role?



Thinking of a change in profession?



I was in that position until just the other day when I came across.

It's true, it really is.

DR is still ruining the game. second teams should be compulsory for all SL teams and whoever else wants to run them.

always been a bit of a political animal me.... and my views on dual reg... like hudds-shay, remain unshaken really



The scariest aspect of all this is I actually find myself agreeing with poskitt on this one....

It’s been done to death and in simple terms comes down to.



All those who think DR should be scrapped and in favour of not using DR regardless.



All those who think DR should be scrapped but in favour of using it when your main rivals are.



All those who aren’t bothered either way.



Now ask the same questions where the decisions of the responsible person of a business who are in a competion where results will decide the future progress or even existence of the club as a whole, including coaching staff, playing staff and supporters.



As with everything in life rarely do you find the perfect scenario and you just have to play your best game with the cards given from the dealer.

I agree entirely.

If one uses it ... all will.

It really is owt or nowt

We tried to sign him but Oldham offered him more money!!

Yep, another example of the state of the game.



You are more or less forced to go along with something that at best is disliked, at worse hated or it's turkeys voting for Christmas.

Just to repeat what ive always said about DR.

Back in 2009 when leigh used it,we used young player who were the cream from warrington& st helens & castleford.imo it worked really well for everyone back then.



Then they changed the rules and champ clubs had to use players from only one sl club.complete madness and doomed to failure from day one bit it suited the sl clubs needs

I have not changed my opinion on d/r. Ido not agree with it and still think all clubs should be made to have a reseve side, but if that is what it takes to be successful and progress then why not co op with the best you can.

You have the Rhinos, would you swap for Catalan or Warrington for example ( no disrepect meant to those two teams) ?

I doubt anybody 'really' likes it but it is a necessary evil brought about by SL clubs picking up the cream of the young players and not being able to give them game time because they can't be @rsed to run a reserves team. RFL should make it a pre-requisite of being in SL that you must have a reserve team, it might be tough for Catalans but they would have to run their team in the French league if necessary.
