Dog forever Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Big debate on dual reg on the Fetherstone v batley match thread. Do we really want it in championship rugby. I for one dont. It has nothing but giving teams who widely use it a false sense of security. Imo. Lets have peoples votes on a yes or no only reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greavesy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 A big NO from me. Bring back the reserves. The main reason I suspect that super league won enough support to change the league structures were the votes from teams who have become dependent on DR . Stop it now it devalues the championship.

Johndeere Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 No All it does is keep or get super league players fit for their club They use the championship club full stop !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Faced Gremlin Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I’m against the idea. But would teams like Hunslet have survived without it? For when the one great scorer comes to mark against your name he writes not if you won or lost but how you played the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Scrapping it depends upon the tail being allowed to wag the dog. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tonks Sidestep Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Presumably it was also wrong and distorted the table when Batley reached the Grand Final, escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth and finished in the Top 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOGFATHER Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 As in the other thread, if it is used as it was originally intended, to bring young lads through, I've no objection to DR. However, it needs to be limited to two DR or loan players per game. I'd also stipulate that the players have to be under 23 year old to be allowed to go on DR with another club.

Well yes we would have , we had enough players and we did go down with duel reg twice . Having said that at the time i like being duel reg with Leeds as we had the likes of Jimmy Keinhorst , Paul Mc Shane , Jordan Lilley and others who all played well for us , it was great to see these players playing for Hunslet but we just had a poor coach who was more interested in being at Leeds. I wouldn't want it back though as all it does is devalue your own players , and can easy get bad morale in the club from the players as well as fans. We did get a lot of stick for it at the time from clubs supporters who now use it and now think it's Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunslet ramone Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I do think long term loan spells is the way to go not duel reg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogs17 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Personally DR provides a short term fix for clubs but lacks any strategic planning. Not long ago SL clubs wanted a larger share of the TV deal which was widely condemned by all Championship fans. To me DR is one of the contributing factors to SL clubs not valuing the Championship competition. If I were a SL owner and I was sending 4 players to a club each week then the Championship team wanted more money on top of that I'd be questioning why. Until Championship clubs prove they can stand alone and not be reliant on SL, the SL owners/chairman will always think they should get a bigger share of the pot. No other sport has/required a system like this. Loans should remain as an option (minimum 1 month before recall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The reality is that any team heavily reliant on DR is probably in a false position in the rugby league ladder to the point where they either jepodise their clubs by over spending without it or face the harsh reality of finding their actual level in the rl heirachy.

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 So, if Fev ended their DR agreement with Leeds tomorrow, how many clubs do you reckon would be rushing to try and take their place? I guess none of those supported by those who've posted on here, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair there are supporters here who consistently argued against duel reg when we were using it, and no doubt the same is true of Fev. I have mixed feelings in that I have enjoyed seeing quality players in the Championship but prefer a loan system rather than a system that leans towards a Senior/Junior club relationship. So I guess you can put me down as a No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Following the Singketon etc job at Fev, now Leigh have Saints last season's first choice half back, could we please take the peace as well, maybe?

How will you fare when Leeds inevitably pick up injuries . If Featherstone voted against it why are you using it to fill approx. half of your starting 13. And as for Batley voting for it I did not like it then and do not like it now. That is in line with many true supporters of RL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
