Giants Dual Reg Agreement

[Rambo]

Nice to see our dual registration deal with the Giants paying dividends with Aidan McGowan signing on a season long loan deal (with the Bulls).

I heard theirs quite a big loan fee involved in the deal,that’s why Batley didn’t get him back. Plus do we need another fullback?

I’m sure we’d of found a spot for him somewhere.

So presuming we only get Dual reg players from the Gisnts when there is no loan fee involved?

I can’t see what the problem was with the old loan system tbh.

We’ve had deals with Hull KR, Wakefield and now Huddersfield over the last decade or so and I can’t really say any of them have been worthwhile.

I’m not sure how good the lads are that we’ve signed from the amateur scene are, but at least it feels a though they are our players and hopefully will have a point to prove and some pride in the shirt.

Dual reg and season long loans are quite different. McGowan is a special case I believe with, allegedly, a couple of SL clubs looking to get him on loan or as a permanent transfer. As Graham has said the loan arrangement won't be cheap.

If we could manage without loans or DR I would also prefer it but the realities of finance within RL nowadays mean that few clubs at our level can turn their backs on such opportunities. Let's see what benefit we might get from the system closer to the season beginning.

If the weekly loan fee is to be believed what I've heard

I can understand why McGowan has not gone to the Rams or the Bulldogs

If Bradford wish to squander a similar figure that a decent African country runs on

Good luck to them
