Will be interesting if you go down this route and the reasoning for it as ours was a short term measure and think things like your selling your souls I would never go again and Fev Hypocrites was put on this forum.

On a serious note why would a club like Fax go down this route before the season has started does the new coach think he cannot compete with the team he has or has Mr Poskitt got his way

Nowt to do with Poskitt.
Yes we don't want DR but we are over £500K down on teams we are playing against next season so how do you compete with that???

I have voted no as would be expected. I have no obsession with DR, I just want my club to have nowt to do with the whole sorry mess that it is.

We are down massively because we stuffed up last season.
What happens if we take KR players on DR and then have to face them in the middle 8, will we then have to start reassembling our side without them at a crucial point of the season.
Fundamentally though if the SL clubs didn't sign all these players they obviously don't seem to need then better players would be available to the Champ sides for less money therefore we should have better rugby and a better competition.

And there within lies the problem JD. You enter into a DR tie-up & your club no longer has 100% control over team selection.


I voted NO.

Voted No as really don't like dual reg.

But trust the BOD to do what they feel is in the best interests of the club. As in my humble opinion a very difficult decision to make.

NO from me - dislike DR and the sorry mess that Batley got themselves into says it all for me. If we can't compete as Halifax then I would rather not bother.

As I understand what Richard said was, yes he felt Fax could benefit from DR but he would look more towards loan signings which could be season long with the SL club paying the wages of the player, thus Fax would benefit without the cost. It was also pointed out that Fev probably would not have finished 2nd without their loan players. I also note some of the posters were not at the Night. Lets not prejudge the issue.

Marshall made a case that he'd do whats right for the team, he doesn't want to be dicated to over who he should choose in his starting 13.

He also basically said that Warrington took the p**s out of Swinton, Marlon Billy kept quiet about this issue but i'm sure he too has an opinion.

Neil Arber gave a passionate response, but rightly said that if its a season long loan then that wouldn't quite be viewed as DR by many.

Last thing we want is players turning up for one game to get fit, perhaps we should team up with Hull KR or Wakey to make sure we don't get the likes of Briers or Morley!

On the bolded bit I got the impression he meant it was used the correct way at Swinton with him using examples of how Morley was used and players like Briers and Bridge.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Nodody should be following the dual reg route.
