Of course we did, we played in challenge cup finals & won a championship with them amongst other things in the mid-late 80's, Hudd's point is that they weren't on dual/reg from Canterbury Bankstown or some other Aussie club, the were Halifax players for that period and only Halifax players.
I think the safest thing to do in Mr Marshall's situation now is to seek out "season-long" loan deals rather than dual-reg any players he's lining up from SL clubs if they're unable to sign permanent Halifax contracts. Who would that harm ? It's just a different title for the agreement between all parties concerned. Let's imagine the RFL ( or more to the point the greedy SL clubs ) drop the dual-reg system, it'd be termed "loan" deal anyway, just like in the past.
